Her son, Rodney Plett and his wife Anita were present, as were their children (Ada’s grandchildren) Nicole Plett Nathan, and Adam and Dana Plett and their families. Four of Ada’s seven great grandchildren were also there – Riley Nathan, Harley Nathan, Ethan Plett, and Kyle Plett. Incredibly, the age difference between Ada and her youngest great grandchildren, Ethan and Kyle Plett (aged seven) is 97 years!
Born Ada Weinberg on 11 February 1916 in Markwood, Free State, Ada was the oldest of five children. She is the only one of her siblings still alive today. She was married twice (first to Norman Gross and then to Manning Plett) and has three children: Sharon, Rodney, and Malcolm Plett.
