Radine Adam

Radine Faye Gilbertson Adam, 74, passed in her home surrounded by her family July 15, 2012, after a five-year battle with cancer.

Radine was born Oct. 25, 1937, in Winneshiek County, the daughter of Orville and Viola (Horan) Gilbertson. Radine was baptized and confirmed at Decorah Lutheran. A celebration of life memorial service is Friday, July 20, at 11 a.m. at Glenwood Lutheran Church (1197 Old Stage Rd Decorah, IA 52101) with a visitation from 4-7 P.M. Thursday, July 19, at Glenwood Lutheran Church.

Radine loved playing and singing with her husband in a country band. Her love for music brought warmth and joy to local nursing homes, as she gave her heart to all. When playing her music she said she could forget everything else. She was able to continue with this love until shortly before her death. Radine will be deeply missed.

Radine is survived by her husband, Jim of Waukon; her children: Jan Dansdill of Decorah, Jay (Sue) Dansdill of Decorah, Jodi (Gerry) Shileny of Protivin, Jeana Anderson of Protivin, Joel Dansdill of Decorah, Heather Adam of Decorah; special grandson, DJ (Dalton James), of Waukon; her two sisters, Sonja Sersland, of Iowa, Ondra Gilbertson of California; four brothers; Gary (Pauline) Gilbertson of North Carolina, Greg (Ann) Gilbertson of Utah, Kevin (Laurann) Gilbertson of Iowa, Keith (Tammy) Gilbertson of Missouri.

She is preceded in death by her parents; brother, Orville (Korky) Gilbertson; father-in-law, Leonard Adam; and many aunts and uncles, cousins and close friends.
