Lois Adams, 78, Maysville, Missouri, passed away Sunday, October 22, 2023.
She was born February 27, 1945 in King City, Missouri to Vester and Mary (Sifers) Eaton.
Lois married Delbert Adams on July 19, 1963. He preceded her in death on November 20, 2013.
After graduating from Maysville High School, Lois worked at several factories before finding her true calling as a CMA at Shady Lawn Nursing Home. She worked there for 17 years.
She was a member of the Red Hat Society and the Overcomers Group for cancer survivors.
Lois was the go-to anchor for her family for many years. She didn’t much like to cook but could be counted on for her “Watergate” salad at family gatherings.
An outgoing person, Lois enjoyed traveling and never met a stranger. She was known for her ornery sense of humor and was always up for a prank. She and her roommate JoEllen at Sunset Homes were two of a kind – always laughing and enjoying each other’s company. The nursing home staff said they would miss her laugh.
Lois brightened up the lives of her family and will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 50 years, Delbert; her parents; and siblings, Keith Eaton, Ileene Maynes, Ivan Eaton, Patricia Mace, Donna Eaton and Johnny Eaton.
Survivors include siblings, Larry Eaton (Mary), and Reta Riley (Ed); several nieces and nephews, including Kathy Bryant (Jay) and Dean Wiglesworth (Jennifer); several other extended family members and friends.
Natural Farewell under the direction of Meierhoffer Funeral Home & Crematory. The family will gather with friends 6:00 to 8:00 P.M. Wednesday, Meierhoffer Funeral Home & Crematory.
