Dr. Sallie Adelle Drane-Bosch, of Whittier, California and previously of Pikesville, MD, passed away on Monday, November 14th, 2022 at the age of 91. She is survived by her cherished children, Alan Drane Bosch (Julia Burns-Bosch), Dr. Milton Keller Drane Bosch (Elizabeth Bosch), Julie Dechowitz (Robert Strupp), Dr. Jeanette (late Dr. Larry) Linder, Dr. Joelle Drane (Mark) Elicker, and Dr. Paul Waller Friedman (Laura Martinez); siblings, J. Wanzer Drane, Michelle Drane Smith, Robert E. Drane, Amrita Renee Drane, and Elizabeth Simmons; her grandchildren, Justin Bosch (Sue McLaughlin), Adam Bosch, Becky (Josh) Lieberman, Arielle Bosch, Julius Bosch, Erin Dechowitz, Rachel (Michael) Pugaczewski, EJ Friedman, Jack Friedman, Tess Friedman, Kaylie Linder, Lauren Elicker; Brittany Burns, and Cameron Burns; her great-granddaughters, Gemma Rowe Severcool and Lorraine Isla Bosch; and her great-grandson, Callum Matthew Brown. She was predeceased by her beloved husbands, Dr. Julius Wingrave Bosch and William E. Gould; grandson, Reuben Bosch; siblings, Nannie Earl Drane, Frederick William Drane, Hiram Drane, Lacey Stahl, Shirley Williams, and Miriam Drane Batey Jones; and parents, Ruby B. and Walter E. Drane.
Adelle was born in Canton, MS and subsequently moved to Louisiana. She attended Northeast Junior College, graduated from Louisiana State University (GEAUX TIGERS!), and LSU Medical School (radiology). Dr. Drane began her career in New Orleans at Charity Hospital and then U.S. Public Health Service in New Orleans, LA. After moving to Baltimore, she continued with USPHS. She continued practicing Radiology at Baltimore City Hospital, and later joined the private practice of Doctors Schultze, Snider and Associates and completed her career with the United States Army at Kimbrough Army Hospital in Fort Meade Maryland, retiring with the rank of Colonel. Prior to joining the Army, she was a member of the Army National Guard. While attending Northeast Junior College she was a premed major, standing high on the Dean’s list; at 17 was president of the Romance Honor Society, treasurer of Phi Theta Kappa and a member of Beta Tau Mu, Purple Jackets, Gamma Omega and WRA. She also captained the winning team in women’s basketball intramurals; and brightened the chorus with her voice and smile. Dell could usually be found in the chemistry lab, student center, library or gym. She was extremely proud of all of her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She highly valued education, and was a mentor to many throughout her career. Adelle loved gardening, symphony, theater, dancing, reading, and fishing, and really enjoyed teaching and explaining how things work to her kids. She was also very proud to be an American and to serve her country honorably. Post-Katrina found her in New Orleans again to help for a few weeks and that turned into many months. In her later years she traveled the world extensively with her husband Bill, and many of her grandchildren were fortunate enough to join them, and choose the destination. For many years, she and Bill made the trip to Crow Canyon Archaeological Center to be educated and participate in the ongoing digs. She loved Israel and visited numerous times. Adelle will be dearly missed.
