Cecelia Anna Elizabeth Lampe was born July 24, 1913 in Templeton, Iowa, the daughter of John and Katie (Klepping) Lampe. Cecelia attended a one-room country school near the farm then Sacred Heart School in Templeton, Iowa. It was not until 1977 when she earned her high school diploma. Cecelia worked on the family farm until she was united in marriage to Julian A. Wadle on February 11, 1946 by Monsieur Husemann at Sacred Heart Church in Templeton. They resided on their farm near Fonda, Iowa until retirement in 1995 and moved to Fonda. In January 2009, Cecelia moved to Sunnybrook Assisted Living in Carroll, then to St. Anthony’s Nursing Home. Cecelia was a member of Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic Church in Fonda, Catholic Daughters of America, Holy Family Society, Little Missionary Society and Hobby Club. She served eleven years as Pocahontas County 4-H leader for the Cedarettes. She was also on the Pocahontas County Extension Service Council for four years and the Home Economics committee. With so many interests, there was never enough time in the day to do all she wanted – sewing, crocheting, gardening, flowers, carving, painting, doll collecting and “dressing” her dollies, reading, collecting poetry, canning, crafts, baking, playing organ, and visiting friends and family.
