Judy Adams, 79, of Rocky Face, Georgia, transitioned to heaven on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, surrounded by her family.
She was born on April 9, 1946, in Hampton, Virginia. In 1979, she co-founded Dalyn Rug Company along with her husband, Bill Adams. She was involved in its success for over 46 years.
