Adele Tudor Robins, 74, passed away unexpectedly July 11 in Portland, surrounded by close family and dear friends.

Her varied talents spanned many areas in her life — from rodeo queen and accomplished horsewoman in her early years in Burns, to creative interior architectural designer, to jewelry maker, and on to her successful marine canvas business, “Aunt Sally’s Canvas Care.” She served as a volunteer helping seniors, and was an active dog rescuer/supporter.

Through all the accomplishments in her life ran a fun-loving, generous, free spirit with a desire to help others. She was known for her devotion to animals, especially her exotic birds that she often took with her on walks to visit friends and neighbors. Many well-loved dogs made paw prints on her heart over the years.

Adele is survived by her cousins, Connie Tudor, Lynne Tudor Stefanetti, and Sandy and Polly Tudor.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Don and Ione Robins; and brother, Rodney Robins.

“Time for us to part now, we won’t say goodbye; look for me in rainbows, shining in the sky. In the morning sunrise when all is new and in the evening sunset, when all the world is through.”

Adele is resting in peace with her grandmother, Agnes Tudor Withers, in Riverview Abbey Portland.
