As a charter member of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, she was dedicated to the church and its various ministries, participating as often as she could.
Marie was preceded in death by her husband, Robert Lee Adams.
She is survived by her daughter, Diana A. Stowe of Windsor; sons, Jack R. Adams of Hampton and Michael D. Adams of Richmond; seven grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and one sister.
A service to celebrate Marie's life will be 1 p.m. Wednesday at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church by Pastor L. Douglas Stowe. Immediately following, the family will receive friends.

Mike, Diana and Jack ~ I know this is a difficult time. As you know with past losses time is the healing factor. Remember your mother in the way she brought smiles and cheer to those around her.
I know she's thinking, why did I have to up and go before the Republican Convention and the election...She will live on.
