Welcome to
Adyne L. Wakefield's Monument

Adyne was a born creative soul with an entrepreneurial bent. She was a polymathic creative at peace sculpting, writing imaginative stories, or creating beautiful crafts from nothing.

In 1982 she created a card-word game she called Quipto. A combination of Gin and Scrabble, she envisioned the game, designed it, found a manufacturer, and got it on the shelves of Fred Meyer's game aisle.

To memorialize her childhood growing up on the prairie of North Dakota, Adyne wrote a short memoir, The Long Road Home, which she published herself and gave out to all her grandchildren.

She always, always had a cup of coffee forgotten in the microwave.

She is deeply missed.

The original Quipto lion was hand drawn by Adyne.

Richard Kotulski says:

One of my favorite memories of Adyne was camping with her in the Three Sisters area around Bend. She loved nature and the outdoors.

Adyne playing coy.
