Ada, a wonderfully kind and gracious southern lady, graduated from Jennings High School in 1946 and attended business school in Valdosta, GA. In Valdosta, Ada met the love of her life, Louis Franklin Rodgers, and they were married in April of 1950. Ada and Louis were happily married for 39 years until Louis’ death in 1989. Ada was a stay-at-home mother and enjoyed raising her children. Ada enjoyed cooking, sewing, playing the piano, planting flowers in her flower garden, entertaining guests in her home but most of all – spending time with her family and going to family gatherings with her extended family. Ada was predeceased by her husband and her parents LeRoy M. and Ruby B. DeVane and her brother Max DeVane.
