Mahlon H. Adams

Dear Scott,

I was so sorry to read that you'd lost your mother. I lost my own dear mother just over two years ago, and I still think of her every day. But it does get a little easier with time.

Mahlon was definitely a very special person and she will be greatly missed! Please take some comfort in knowing that she is now free from all her earthly ills and has rejoined your father. I wish I could have attended her funeral, but John and I were on a train back from NOLA...

Hi Scott,

You don't know me but your mom and I worked together on many community issues during my time in Charlotte from 1980 to 2001. We served on the Charlotte Central District plan together as well as working on numerous other controversial and important issues. Of course, I broke bread with her and your Dad for community issues meetings at their house on Willow Oak Rd. When I moved to a central Charlotte neighborhood in 1980 from NJ, it was she and others within the then...

Scott, Both your Mom & Dad are responsible for the wonderful man & friend you are today. I know you will miss her. We have had many wonderful conversations about both your parents. I know Cathy will help you through this rough time. I hope to see you both Tuesday. Please let me know if I can do anything to help. Sending you many bear hugs, Phyllis

Our neighbor since the 1970's, Mahlon will be missed by our family,neighbors of Freedom Park Neighborhood, and other people whose lives she touched. We remember her Christmas parties, good cooking, friendship and political skills. She left a great legacy, Scott!

What a loss to Charlotte, but also to our neighborhood. I grew up down the street from Mahlon and remember neighborhood association meetings where she was going 110 miles an hour; her wonderful holiday parties, and hearing the sound of her Volkswagen Karmann Ghia - which she loved - running up and down Willow Oak. She will be remembered and missed!

My sincerest condolences to the family. Mahlon and I served together on the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning Commission.
Sincerely,

Nancy Bowen Wiggins

Truly a great loss. What an amazing lady with such zest for life. It was a distinct pleasure to have had a chance to briefy share time with CurlyTop. She was a big part of my husbands family. We will miss her.

Mahlon, there are unfortunately too few voices like yours to keep our city and country to its promises of beauty and committment. Gadfly was applied lovingly by all of us that followed your lead.
Scott and family, as you all know only too well, your Mother was one in a million. She will be sorely missed.
