Her father owned 168 acres in the Lake Jackson area, including part of the Indian Mounds; after his death, the State of Florida purchased the property to turn into a state park. Adalaide and her husband, Harry, were founding members of Faith Presbyterian Church and later Covenant Church.

After serving in World War II, Harry attended Florida State University on the GI Bill and then worked there for 20 years before moving on to the Florida Department of Community Affairs.
