Adele Creel Engelbracht passed away at home on Tuesday, January 8, 2019 surrounded by family. This beautiful bright star burnt out long before her time.

Adele was born August 25, 1953 in New Orleans where she met the love of her life at St. Matthew UCC on Carrollton and got married May 19, 1973. Adele was a devoted teacher with the Jefferson Parish Public School System for over 30 years. But she was more than just a teacher of the classroom. This amazing, inspiring, God-loving woman knew just what to do or say in any situation. She taught us all how to be a better person and for that we are eternally grateful.
