Adele Irene Elton was born on March 16, 1914 at the family's homestead near Pinecreek, the daughter of Martin and Selma Elton. She was baptized and confirmed at Pinecreek Lutheran Church. She attended grade school at Pinecreek and graduated from Roseau High School and Bemidji State Teachers College.
Adele taught at her home school at Pinecreek for a time and in 1938 married Ingvald Folland of Halma. After their marriage, the couple moved to Greenbush where Ing started working at the newly established Greenbush State Bank. While the couple's three children were small, Adele stayed at home but eventually joined her her husband at the bank, a career that would last 38 years. Ingvald died in 1994.
Adele enjoyed gardening, being outdoors, picking berries, music and especially keeping in touch with family and friends.

Adele is survived by two daughters, Marcia of Greenbush and Lee (George) Gloege of Sebeka; a son, Stuart (Kay Lynn) of Winter Haven, Fla.; seven grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren; four sisters-in-law; and several nieces, nephews and cousins.
She was preceded in death by her husband; parents; two sisters, Aggie Foss and Alpha Taylor; and three brothers, Melvin, Oswald and Eddy Elton.
