Adelaide A. McCane, helped others
Even during her latter years in a nursing home, Adelaide A. McCane had the ability to make friends.
"She was a dynamic lady. . . well liked by everyone," said Mrs. McCane's sister, Anne Lange of Fort Mitchell.
Mrs. McCane, 88, formerly of Fort Mitchell and Washington, Mo., died Friday in St. Elizabeth Medical Center South, Edgewood.
A member of the Kruetzkamp family, who were longtime active members of Blessed Sacrament Church, Fort Mitchell, Mrs. McCane moved from the area several decades ago with her husband, Hugh "Mac" McCane, an executive with the J.C. Penney Co.
Mrs. McCane and her husband lived in several communities around the country but for a number of years resided in Washington, Mo. Hugh McCane was later elected presiding judge of the Franklin County Court there.
"She was very active in community and political work in Missouri," Mrs. Lange said of her sister.
"She was a homemaker, and just such a caring person. She stayed busy all the time.
"She was a giving person, the kind who is always there with food or any help she could give when a family had a funeral," added Mrs. Lange.
Two years ago Mrs. McCane suffered a stroke, and she and her husband returned to Northern Kentucky to live at St. Charles Care Center, Fort Wright.
"She made a lot of friends at St. Charles," said Mrs. Lange.
Her sister attended St. Joseph School, Covington, and St. Walburg Academy in her early years.
Antique collecting was among Mrs. McCane's hobbies, said Mrs. Lange.
