Adah Addie D. (Kellar) Hagen, born on March 20, 1918 in Bakerstown, Pennsylvania, to the late Janet Gray Kellar and the late Howard J. Kellar, passed away at age 100 on January 29, 2019 in Sarasota, Florida. Adah was married to the late Lewis T. Hagen.

Hagen; sister, Janet Hull; and grandchildren, Kimberly Houchin (Tommy), Scott Hagen (Ashley), Kelly Badgett (Cliff), and Dane Hagen and 6 great grandchildren. Adah aka (Addie/ Momma Hagen) possessed a lifelong thirst for knowledge, along with a never-ending curiosity about how things worked and why things happened. She never lost her lust for learning even after her hearing and sight failed her. Needless to say, she was a woman with multiple passions and many interests including Messianic Jews and MADD. She saved virtually every greeting card she ever received throughout her one hundred plus years of life. Frequently she would spend her evenings re-reading her collection of cards which she called "visiting with old friends" bringing back cherished memories of all the people from her past whom she loved and out lived. Addie truly enjoyed meeting people and making new friends. She always made a special effort to meet, greet and make welcome new residents at Desoto Beach Club. She took part in most of the extracurricular activities offered there, including bible studies, chimes, crafts and guest speakers who covered multitudes of interesting topics to feed her limitless curiosity as previously mentioned. However, Addie’s greatest passion in life was her loving family, consisting of her son's, daughter's, grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews all of whom she prayed for daily first thing every morning and last thing every night. The family invites in lieu of flowers, donations in ADAH's name to Chosen People Ministries, Disabled American Veterans, or First Presbyterian Church of Bradenton. Friends and family can pay their respects at the visitation on Monday, February 4 from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. Following that, there will be a funeral service, officiated by REV VIC KANE, from 1:00 to 1:30 p.m. The funeral home will be Toale Brothers Colonial Chapel - Sarasota, 40 N. Orange Ave, Sarasota, (941) 955-4171.
