December 17, 1942 - October 17, 2023

Ada Rasmussen Almering, 80, of Atlanta, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend to all, passed away on October 17, 2023. She was born in Vincennes, Indiana, to Wallace and Grace Rasmussen.

Ada was known for her larger-than-life personality, her whip-smart intelligence, and her encompassing kindness. She had an uncanny eye for art and a passion for human connection, which led her to become fluent in five languages. She passed along her love of travel to her children, who will carry Ada's adventurous spirit with them on all their life journeys.

Ada is survived by her sweetheart, caretaker, and devoted husband of 55 years, Johannes (Hans) Almering; as well as her two children, Madeleine and John Almering, John's wife, Tracy; brother, Walter Rasmussen; and her beloved grandchildren, Viren, Hansen, and Ruby.
