Beautiful, much loved Nancy Jane Adams, age 89, of Geneva, passed away into the arms of her Lord Jesus on Thursday, August 7, 2025. She was born February 25, 1936 in Delanson, New York, the daughter of Genevieve (Doutt) Snyder and Edward Snyder.

Nancy worked for the city of Geneva (1978-1999), the last several years as The Finance Director. She was a member of Peoples Church in Geneva. She enjoyed her sewing/ quilting group, women's and senior Bible studies, The Chosen small group, missions and local outreaches. Nancy loved worshipping there. She liked her book study and going places with friends. She was "quite the athlete" in her day. She enjoyed skiing, playing tennis, wind surfing and scuba diving in the Caribbean. Nancy deeply touched all that knew her. Most of all she loved the Lord and telling about him.

She is survived by her children, Tina (Mike) Gentilini, Terry (Rebekah) Bowdler, and Larry (Joyce) Bowdler; grandchildren; Kristin (Fred), Jeffrey, Luke, Stephen, Micah, Terry (Janice), Kristie, Stephen, Jake (Lauren), Rachel (Tim) Brent, Breana, Brandon, and Emily; great grandchildren, Garrett, Parker; Josephina and Samuel ( their mother is Yana); Charlie, Hannah, Kira, Joshua, Eden, Bodie, Duke, Jack, Sebastian, and Nancy's siblings, Janet English, and David Snyder. She is preceded in death by her parents; husband, Robert Adams; sister, Norma McIndoe; and brother, James Snyder. She is also preceded in death by many other treasured loved ones.
