Nancy Jean Koberna Adams, age 79, passed away on July 22, 2025, in Middlefield, Ohio.

In her final moments, she beamed a beautiful smile, letting everyone know that she had found her beloved husband, Joe, waiting for her in heaven.

Born in Mayfield Heights, Ohio, on July 14, 1946, Nancy spent her life devoted to her family, supporting her husband and their three boys.

She was a steadfast, supportive partner to her husband, Joe, who served in the military for 20 years. They lived in numerous states around the country and also in Germany. In their time together, they raised a family and shared many of life's adventures. A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Nancy cherished her family.

Nancy was known for her gentle spirit, her unwavering loyalty to her family, and a deep love of music. She spent many joyful years singing in choirs.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Joe. She is survived by her sister, sister in-law, her three boys, two nieces, six grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.
