Betty Adams Obituary
To the children that she taught sewing classes to at Montessori Children's House and Montessori Children's Elementary School, she was their beloved Mema to each and every one. She was famous for her beautiful hand-sewn quilts, which took many first place ribbons at the Del Mar Fair, and teaching quilting classes to community members.
She is survived by four children, Linda Jordan, Richard Adams, Douglas Adams and Michael Adams; nine grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren.
Services will be held on Sunday, May 16, at 2 pm at Bonham Bros & Stewart Mortuary Chapel, 321 12th St., Ramona.

Mema will be deeply missed by all the children whose lives she touched. She was always there in the morning to greet our children with a smile or a hug before school and helped our little ones create the most precious keepsakes. We are blessed to have had Mema in our lives. We hope that all who loved her will find comfort in the beautiful memories she left behind. To the Adams family, our hearts go out to you in this time of sorrow.
With all our love,
Victor, Lisa, Isabella and Rocco Saldamando

Betty will be missed by all her quilting buddies. She really loved to make quilts, especially for others, and we shared the love of applique. We had great times on our quilting retreats and sit & sews. I will always cherish all the wonderful memories I have from all the good times we shared. Betty is such a special person to me and I hold her wonderful smile in my heart.

Mema taught me how to quilt and make rugs using a converted toothbrush! She was a constant presence at MCH all those years ago when my kids attended. I will miss seeing her around town and catching up. Linda, you were so blessed to have such a wonderful relationship with your mom. God bless you and your family during these hard times.
Love Always,

Mema,
You will be truely missed by all. I was talking to Hunter this morning about you and he remembers you sitting by the sliding glass door at the Montessori house diligently watching the little ones as you knitted away. We will always think of you fondly especially at christmas time when we hang Hunters stocking knowing it was made with loving hands and heart. And to the Jordans our thoughts and prayers go out to you.
Love Jeff, Dobbie and Hunter

Betty, I will truly miss you. You gave me a reason to look forward to a new week, Sunday, for our weekly dinners. You always was a good listener and encouraged me to keep going on so many times while suffering from the loss of my husband. You taught me to applique and I was looking forward to our new project for halloween. Good-by dear friend, I will be lonely for you every Sunday. Betty McCaffrey #83
