On September 5, 1923, shortly after her 21st birthday, Ada married Lawrence O. Garner. For a short time they lived in Bethlehem, PA, but then moved back to Pottstown, where they lived the rest of their lives.
Ada and Lawrence had eight children. Their first child, Doris Elaine, was born Nov. 28, 1924 and died Feb. 9, 1925, at just two months of age. The other seven children all survived to adulthood. They are Lawrence E., Kenneth H., Jeanne S., Janet L., Jane E., Charles D., and Marie A.
Ada loved to cook and sew. She canned fruits and vegetables and made many of the clothes worn by her children. She especially enjoyed hosting large family dinners and many times would have two long tables setup in her dining room. She always had plenty of food for everyone.
Ada died in 1982, two months shy of her 80th birthday. She had been a widow for over twenty years. She was survived by seven children and eight grandchildren.
