Adis A. Rasmussen, 79, of Carlisle, passed
away on Wednesday, June 27, 2012, at Church of God Home, Carlisle. She was born on Saturday, April 8, 1933, in Northwood,
ND, a daughter of the late William P. and Adis E. (Trinterud) Bates and was the widow of Col. Ronald R. Rasmussen, US Army,
who died Oct. 1, 1974. Adis
graduated from Larimore High School in Larimore, ND. She was a long time employee with the Bon Ton department store in Carlisle.
She was a member of the USAWC Memorial Chapel, where she was a member of the Protestant Women of the Chapel. Adis was also
a member of St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church, Carlisle. She was the consummate Army wife, a devoted mother to her four
children and a loving friend to the many people she met during her life in the military and her employment at the Bon Ton.
Her strong faith was reflected in her work with the War College Chapel and the bible study class she taught and her many trips
to Israel which brought her great joy. She
is survived by one son, Ronald R. Rasmussen, Jr. and his wife, Barbara of Colorado Springs, CO and Palo Alto, CA, two daughters;
Betty Eng and her husband, John of McDonough GA and Mary Flores and her husband, Elias of Cedarville, CA, six grandchildren;

and husband, Adis was preceded in death by one daughter, Barbara Gulden and one sister, Beverly Koch. A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, July 3, 2012, at 10 a.m. in the USAWC
Memorial Chapel, Carlisle Barracks, with Rev. Timothy W. Sadler officiating. Burial will be privately held in North Dakota.
Visitation and fellowship will immediately follow the service at the chapel. Ewing Brothers Funeral Home, Carlisle, is assisting
the family with the arrangements. Memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of Central PA, 1320 Linglestown Rd., Harrisburg,

Words cannot convey how much we all loved Adis and how much we will miss her.
Praise God, she is now free from that prison of her earthly body, and is, no doubt, praising & dancing with her Lord!
I can only imagine the Love as He said to her, "Well done, my good and faithful servant!"

Adis was a woman of courage and faith
and a student and teacher of God's Word. She was a beloved part of our chapel and PWOC fellowship for many years. I will
remember fondly her radiant smile and gentle spirit. I rejoice that she is with the Lord she loved and free from her suffering.
May you, her family, be comforted by this knowledge and happy memories of her love and care as time diminishes the memories
of these last sad months. I am sorry that I will be out of Carlisle on Tuesday.

Adis was a wonderful Christian friend. I was in very many of her classes at
the CBKs chapel during the years we lived in Carlisle. She taught me more about the bible than any other person; I will remember
her fondly as my Christian role model. Our sympathies to the family.
