Adela Korecki (Salas) age 90, of Algonquin, Illinois passed away on March 26, 2025. She was born in Cordoba, Argentina the loving daughter of Abraham and Fodda Salas. An avid cook, Adela was the owner of the popular Edella's Restaurant in Algonquin, which she ran from 1993-2006. In 1960, she married the love of her life, Eduardo Korecki, and the two recently celebrated 65 years of marriage. She especially adored her grandchildren – and great grandchild – and constantly doted on them. Adela delighted in her garden; growing tomatoes and pumpkins in her backyard with her husband and filling her home with beautiful plants and flowers.
