Adeline Tueller Kloepfer was born January 2, 1893 in Paris, Idaho to Christian and Elizabeth Von Almen Tueller. In 1912, she trained as a nurse at the LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City. She was always very involved within the LDS Church and in 1949 she was made the President of the Paris First Ward Primary.
