After getting married and taking time off to have a family, Adelaide worked at Ashdowns in the electrical department. For many years she was an active member in the Canadian Polish Athletic Club (CPAC), volunteering countless hours at Monday night Bingo. She was also very involved with her Seniors group and with the congregation at the Atlantic – Garden City United Church.
