George Clooney’s sister, Adelia “Ada” Zeidler, has tragically passed away after battling cancer. The Hollywood star paid tribute to his beloved sibling with a touching statement expressing his admiration for her strength and resilience.
According to Clooney, Ada was his hero who faced cancer with courage and humor. He described her as the bravest person he had ever met and expressed that both he and his wife, Amal, will deeply miss her presence in their lives.
Ada Zeidler, born on May 2, 1960, was a dedicated elementary school art teacher in Augusta, KY for many years. She tied the knot with retired army captain Norman Zeidler in 1987, with George reportedly playing a special role in their wedding ceremony. Sadly, Norman passed away in 2004, leaving Ada to raise their two children, Nick Zeidler and Allison Zeidler Herolaga, alongside her husband Kenny.
While Ada preferred to stay out of the spotlight, she did attend her brother’s lavish wedding to human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin in 2014. The family-oriented woman was known for her love for her children and husband, and her passing has undoubtedly left a void in their lives.
Ada Zeidler’s legacy will live on through her family and the memories they shared together. The Clooney family has been left heartbroken by her loss, and they are mourning the departure of a beloved mother, wife, sister, and friend.
Rest in peace, Ada. Your courage and spirit will always be remembered and cherished by those who knew and loved you.
