August 28, 1935 - April 1, 2024

In Loving Memory ~

Our Mother, Adele passed away peacefully on Monday April 1, 2024.

Adele Johnson (Kofoed) was one of eight children, the third eldest, born August 28, 1935, to Charles and Agnes Kofoed. The Kofoed Clan have been rooted in the Terrace community for over a century now.

The original Kofoed home was located in Thornhill where she resided with the rest of the family until 1958, when she married.

Her first son Karl was born in Terrace, and after a short time, she relocated to Prince George having two more children Anthony(Tony) and daughter Susan.

We mourned the tragic loss of her daughter, our sister in 1974. She spent most of her adult life raising her remaining sons in the Prince George area and the town of Hixon BC.

She opted to retire and return to her Terrace roots in 1997 where she settled in her home on Soucie Street. She spent her retirement years, working with the Sacred Heart CWL, and spending time in her, ever blooming flower garden.

She is survived by her brothers George, Tom, her sisters, Dianne, Betty Jean, and Anne. Her brother Chuck (Charles) passed recently and her sister Johanne passed in 2016.

She leaves a legacy of two sons, Karl and Anthony (Tony) Prekaski along with 3 grandchildren, Skylar, Miranda, & Madelin.

Adele loved spending time with family and friends, always enjoying a good laugh. She was known for her quick wit, which could be either caustic or comedic exploring every variant in between. Despite this, she had a huge heart. She lived and loved life on her terms.

She will be sadly missed by us all.

For those who would like to honor her, we will gather at the

Sacred Heart Church, Terrace BC, 11 am Tuesday April 9th followed by a light lunch.
