Adele Marianne Evans

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Adele Evans Biedricki in Ocala, Florida, USA, on May 28, 2024, from Advanced Breast Cancer. Adele was 68 years old. Adele was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, to Jennifer and Lucien Aquin. She was the middle child in a French Ukrainian family and grew up strong, independent, and feisty, just like she described her loving and devoted mom. She lived an extraordinary life, always wanting to learn languages and cultures, and experience others’ traditions. Professionally, Adele was always overachieving, determined to succeed, and did it her way. She was one of the few female successful leaders for one of the McDonald’s locations, but she later became an EMT and found her passion and calling in the fire industry. She retired as a Fire Service International Distributor, where she travelled around the world, fostering many wonderful, long-lasting friendships. In 1997, she hosted an exchange student, Ana Palomino, to learn Spanish and to share her Canadian traditions. Little did she know, Ana became the daughter she never had. Later, in the 90s, her work brought her to Ocala, Florida. She was determined to become fluent in Spanish. So, she enrolled in a Spanish class, where she met Ed Biedricki, the love of her life. Adele and Ed had a wonderful life together. They continued to discover the world and travelled to their magical place – Ecuador as often as they could. Adele was kind, loving, and had a great sense of humor. She surrounded herself with many wonderful friends who became her family who were instrumental in honoring her wish to die in her home surrounded by the ones she loved. Adele also had a passion for running and participated in many marathons for cancer research. She enjoyed going for long power walks in the parks. She lived in the moment, always catching the best sunset, enjoying the sound of the owls from her backyard, listening to a great tune of Jazz and Blues, and having her favorite delicious eggplant casserole. Adele is predeceased by her parents, Jennifer (nee Rushton) and Lucien Aquin, and her husband, Edward Biedricki II. She is survived by her sister, Monique Aquin Graboski (Reg); her brother, Kenneth Aquin (Donna Isfeld); her daughter, Ana Palomino (Kevin Olesen); and her stepson, Eddie Biedricki (MaryAnn). She will be greatly missed by her nieces Morgan Makwich (Andrew Lolugheed) and Janel Aquin (Terance Diakow), and nephews Jason Aquin and Chris Isfeld, as well as her great-niece Everly Diakow, granddaughter Alexandra Olesen and grandson Dylan Little. Adele Evans Biedricki will always be remembered as a strong woman who lived and loved life to the fullest. Roberts Funeral Home is in charge of the funeral service at Roberts Funeral Home Downtown Ocala at 10 am on Saturday June 29, 2024 with service to follow at 11 am. Adele will be interred alongside her husband, Edward, at Bushnell National Cemetery in Florida at a later date when family is able to attend. In lieu of flowers, donations to cancer research in memory of Adele would be appreciated.
