On Jan. 19, 2015, Adeliana completed her journey through this life.
She was born July 3, 1927, in Normandy, France.
As a teenager Adeliana survived the German occupation of Paris. At the end of World War II she worked as a telephone operator at SHAPE Headquarters, just outside Paris. It was during this time that she met and fell in love with her husband-to-be, Merle Breece. They soon married, and a year later a baby girl, their only child, Patricia, was born.
Adeliana worked as a telephone operator with the Bell Telephone System in Fairbanks, Alaska, and was later hired as a civilian operator at Fort Wainwright, Alaska; and then Fort Huachuca, Ariz.
Adeliana, along with her husband and daughter, moved to Sierra Vista, Ariz., in 1966. She worked at Fort Huachuca, Ariz., before retiring.
Adeliana was preceded in death by her husband, Merle Breece, in 1993.
Adeliana was an intelligent and talented wife and mother. She spoke English, French, German, and Italian. Her interests in music included singing in the church choir and playing the organ, harmonica, and accordion. She was a master storyteller.
Adeliana’s kindness and charity were extraordinary, even until her untimely death. She gave generously both of her time and resources to worthy causes in the Sierra Vista community.
She is survived by her daughter, Patricia Stickler (Fred); four grandsons, Kenneth, Troy, Jarrod, and Loren; three great-grandchildren, Jonathan, Taylor, and Tiffani Stickler; two brothers, Gilbert and Alfredo Pierozzi of Paris, France; and a sister, Clara Saez of Dijon, France.
We love her and shall miss her wit and sense of humor.
A funeral Mass of Christian Burial will be held at the St. Andrew the Apostle Catholic Church in Sierra Vista on Wednesday, Jan. 28, at noon, with graveside services at the post cemetery located on Fort Huachuca at 1 p.m.
