Born Adolphine Octaire Permereur in Antwerp, Belgium to Edward Permereur and Marguerite Braun Permereur, she initially came to the United States in 1916. She was married in New York in 1931 (and then divorced) to a Spanish man named Dorotes D. Rivero.

In 1941, she lost her title to Mona May Karff. The day just before, Adele remarried, to Donald Belcher. She was Vermont champion in 1954.
