She is survived by two siblings, Martha Landin and Maudine Faxon. Ma was predeceased by John Sam Adams, her husband of over 60 years; four sisters; and two brothers.

Ma will be remembered as a devoted homemaker.

She had a love for cleaning, cooking, and storytelling.

She was a master of Spades, Scrabble, and Aggravation. She had unconditional love for all her family: numerous nieces, nephews, and friends. Her memory will forever be kept alive by her children and grandchildren. The children would like to thank all the people who have loved, supported, and embraced their mother over the years. Their kindness will be remembered always.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you spread joy and live by the first Bible verse Ma taught to Kassidy and Carly, “Be ye kind to one another” (Ephesians 4:32) and remember “I will be the same until your old age, and I will bear you up when you turn gray. I have made you, and I will carry you; I will bear and rescue you.” (Isaiah 46:4) Please visit www. hartsmort.com to express condolences.
