Ada Profaizer, 89, passed away peacefully with family at her daughter’s home in Cheyenne, Wyoming January 13, 2021. Ada was born in Revo, Italy and grew up in the Tyrolian village of Tret, on October 29, 1931. She married Elio Profaizer from Fondo, Italy, and they started a family with daughter Anna and son Frank. In 1960, Elio immigrated to the United States. Ada and the children joined him in 1961, without benefit of speaking English and having to leave Italian family behind. They began their new life in America, working hard, learning and adapting to a new culture. In 1966, they welcomed daughter Julie. Ada was devoted to her family as a homemaker and shared her talent of sewing and altering clothing for people through the years and making many friends. Her generosity and warmth welcomed all. She was an angel on earth to many; her kindness and her love for God was evident in her daily life. She loved to laugh, having a witty sense of humor. She was preceded in death by her husband of 47 years, Elio; her parents Maria and Basilio Iori; brothers, Edgidio, Rodolfo, Vittorio, Aldo; and sisters Tullia, Irma, and Silvia.
