Local historian and nonagenarian Adele Parker has lived in Guttenberg along the shores of the Mississippi River most of her life. She  was born to parents John and Frances Mahowald. The 96-year-old was raised in a humble household with sisters Jane and Zella Ruth "Peppy." Adele shared the story behind her sister's familiar nickname. "My sister, Zella Ruth, was sitting at the table at my uncle's farm. She was always wiggling around and he said, 'Your name should be Peppy,' and it was ever since," explained Adele.
