Carolyn McAdams Obituary
Carolyn is survived by husband Dean McAdams of the family home; son David Burnham (Christine) of Tucson, Ariz., Peter (Liz) Burnham, Mother-in-law Sally McAdams, Mark, Miles and Marian McAdams, Brother-in-law Jerry Wells (Carol), 9 great grandchildren and 12 great-great grandchildren.
Carolyn's main interests were education, and instilled wisdom of the minds of youngsters across the country, from New York to Arizona and New Mexico.
Within her 32 years of teaching, she traveled 49 of the 50 states and found love in music, art, her occupation, animals, family and friends. One good-hearted woman who got all she ever wanted from life with a little help but mostly on her own. She will be dearly missed; God rest her soul. Although, she's at peace and her pain is gone, ours still exists and now she is gone, but in our hearts forever.
Services for Carolyn McAdams will be held at Nine Mile Hill Ranch, Las Vegas, N.M. on Saturday, Dec. 7, 2019, at 2 p.m. for those that wish to attend.
Arrangements for Carolyn McAdams are under the direction of the Alderette-Pomeroy Funeral Home.

Carolyn found her happiness with her husband, her animals and her husband Sean. She loved their ranch and the views of the grasslands and mountains, especially when the antelopes and elk came through the area. She can now be at peace and watch over her loved ones.

Carolyn was a dear friend. Always smiling and loved life. I met her at Sapello school while I was a Substitute Teacher. She loved working in the schools and knowing the kids on a first name basis in Sapello School. We would get together and visit and those memories will be with me. I am sad that I have lost a dear friend.
