After retiring to Holly Springs, NC, Adrienne continued serving others by volunteering at a local food pantry and hosting Bible studies in her home. Adrienne was a loving mother and grandmother. She enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren, always laughing with them, encouraging them in their interests, and teaching them about Jesus. Some of her favorite activities were reading, traveling, meeting new people, and walking her beloved dog, Sarah. ​Adrienne will be remembered for her joyful, giving spirit, and for devoting herself as a mother, teacher, prayer warrior, and mentor. Her greatest joy was to introduce others to Jesus. ​Adrienne was predeceased by her mother, father, and her sister, Marianne Blanke. She is survived by her brother, Richard Blanke; her children, Christine (Marc) Chamberlain, Aprille Fetzer, Justen (Leslie) Fetzer, and seven grandchildren. ​Although she is greatly missed, her family and friends take comfort in a verse she often quoted, “Absent from the body, present with the Lord.”
