Mary Adele Roper 1935-2022

Adele was born Feb. 10, 1935, in Youngstown, to the late Frank and Anna Wawrosch Fausten. She was a 1953 graduate of Liberty High School, where she was a cheerleader and majorette.

Growing up, Adele always wanted to be a nurse and she received her nursing degree from The Youngstown Hospital Association School of Nursing in 1956. She worked as a registered nurse for many years in the Youngstown area.

Adele married Stephen James “Jim” Roper on Aug. 24, 1957. They moved to Boardman, where they raised their two children, Jim and Lisa.

Her husband, Jim, preceded Adele in death on Jan. 20, 1996. She was also preceded by her parents, Frank and Anna Fausten; and her sister, Margaret Fausten Johnston. Adele is survived by her son, Jim and his wife, Kim, of Worthington; and her daughter, Lisa Roper Quesnel and her husband, Bob, of Dublin. She is also survived by her four grandchildren, Drew Roper (fiancee Catherine Carroll), Matt Roper (fiancee Andrea Gevas), Morgan Quesnel and Kelly Quesnel, all of Columbus; along with 12 nieces and nephews.

A private family-only service will take place at Schoedinger Funeral Home in Worthington on Saturday, April 16, 2022. Adele will be laid to rest in St. Mary Cemetery in Hudson, with her late husband, Jim, whom she has dearly missed since his passing in 1996. The family would like to thank the wonderful staff at Heartland / ProMedica in Dublin who cared for Adele while she resided there since 2019.
