Adele graduated from medical school in 1993. She lives in central Arkansas with her husband, Chris Holmes.

Their fun-loving family includes a rollicking crew of two adult children and their spouses, five grandchildren of diverse ages and talents, a horse, and a Bernedoodle.

The joy of twenty plus years in private practice pediatrics was interrupted only due to an unquenchable desire to wander the world and give back to the community—in an effort to help make the world a better place.

Since 2016 Adele has entrenched herself in the world of writing. On August 9, 2022 her debut novel Winter’s Reckoning, a southern gothic, was published. A second novel has been started.
