Jean Elizabeth Adams passed away peacefully with family by her side on June 10, 2023. Jean was born June 25, 1929 in the Bronx, New York City to Thomas I. and Helen Carter McCormack. Jean was preceded in death by her husband of 59 years, J. Robert Adams. Jean is survived by her children Cathy Dooley (John), Mark Adams (Sue), and Thomas Adams (Beth). Also her grandchildren Erin Kate McGuire (Jonathan), John Robert Dooley (Jennifer), Kate Friedman (Aaron), Maggie Andyjohn (Tim), Hannah Adams, and Sarah Adams; along with 8 great-grandchildren. Jean had an ornery smile and a hearty laugh and her blue eyes would sparkle when she told stories about her family. Jean was an avid gardener, a loving pet owner, and an award-winning artist. Jean left New York City, to the great concern of her mother and sister, to attend college at Muskingum College at New Concord, Ohio. There, she met Bob and graduated in Home Economics. During Bob's pharmacy school at Ohio Northern, Jean was employed as a home economist for Ohio Power in Lima. After finishing Bob's military commitment in Missouri, the couple settled in Troy, Ohio where their children were born. They moved to Worthington, Ohio where Bob owned a pharmacy. After the pharmacy was sold in 1978, they lived in many places in Ohio including Fredericktown, Findlay, and Columbus. Jean very much enjoyed country living in Fredericktown, where she and Bob built a house and she cultivated a beautiful, sprawling garden. She was a good friend to the local Amish community and continued those friendships throughout her life. Jean seemed to make friends everywhere and excelled at keeping long friendships, turning vacation acquaintances into lifelong friends and pen-pals. Jean was well-loved by her family and friends will be very dearly missed.
