Claire Adams

Claire Adams, born March 16, 1934, ended her earthly journey at sunrise, Saturday, Dec. 31, 2022. She left this earth as she lived her life - with quiet dignity and her family by her side.

As well as being a homemaker, Claire held positions in the garment industry, dentistry, and home health care. She loved to travel and enjoyed many memorable getaways with friends. She loved all animals but especially enjoyed watching the birds at her feeder. Spending time with and doting on her many grand and great-grandchildren gave her much joy. Thanksgiving and Christmas meals were always a treat. You could feel the love she so tenderly prepared them with.

Above all else, Mrs. Adams happily lived a life of godly service.

Claire was preceded in death by her parents, Donald and Mae Howie Searfoss; brother, Donald Searfoss Jr.; husband of 47 years, Robert Adams; daughters, Beverly and Barbara; and daughter-in-law, Sandra.

She is survived by her son, Robert A.; daughter, Lynn M. Sutliff (Loren); and 15 grandchildren, numerous great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren.

She is also survived by her longtime companion and fiancé, Mr. Warren Peters.

Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday from Curtis L. Swanson Funeral Home Inc., routes 29 and 118, Pikes Creek, with the Rev. Raymond Purdy officiating. Visitation will be held from noon to service time.

Interment will be in Maple Grove Cemetery, Lake Twp.

In lieu of flowers, Claire would request donations be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memorial Giving, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105.
