A lifelong native of South San Francsico, first living at the lower end of Grand Avenue and later moving to the base of Sign Hill.
Graduated from the “Old” South City High School on Spruce. Weekends and summers were spent working at the Native Son Florist in Colma. Right after Adele graduated, she started working at Bank of America (forever to be referred to as “The Bank”), where she stayed for close to 50 years. Eventually she began serving as Assistant Manager at her branch.
Adele’s mother was Amelia Foppiano, another California native and her father, Antonio Cassinelli was from a little town in near Genoa, Italy. Her Brother David (who later married Letty) completed the family. Many years later she became “Auntie Del” to two nephews, Paul (Sandra) and Steven Cassinelli.
