Adalynn Obituary (2020 - 2023) - Bloomington, Illinois

Adalynn Sturm, 2, of Normal, passed away Sunday at OSF St. Francis Medical Center in Peoria. A private family service will be held. Burial will take place in Park Hill Cemetery in Bloomington. Born August 30, 2020, Adalynn is survived by her parents, Kiley Jo Sturm and David William Rotchford; maternal grandmother and "Mimi", Angie Sturm of Bloomington; paternal grandparents, Tina and Bill Rotchford of Oakland, Maine; maternal aunt, Lindsey (Tom) Prior of Normal and their daughters, Riley and Avery; paternal uncles, Patrick (Erin) Rotchford of East Syracuse, NY, Matthew Rotchford of Manchester, NH and Howie Rotchford of Morrison, CO. She was preceded in death by her maternal grandfather, Greg Sturm. When in trouble, Adalynn was referred to as Adalynn Joseph in honor of her namesake. When not in trouble, she talked non-stop (like her mother.) Adalynn had a heart of gold, didn't know a stranger, was too smart for her own good and was one sassy, independent little lady. After hours of agonizing over a name, she hated being called baby chick, her mom came up with the nickname of "skittle butt." Adalynn's favorite hobbies were anything Mickey, terrorizing her puppy Aria, visiting Mimi and Gramps, snuggling with her mom, playing with her cousins and being a little daredevil. Her beautiful blue eyes and joyful smile stood out like nothing else when she walked into any room. Adalynn Jo, Addie J, AJ, Adalynn Joseph was loved by everyone she met, will be loved nonstop and will be missed more than she could ever know.
