Delbert Lee Adkins

Delbert Lee Adkins, 70, went to live in his Heavenly home on Friday, May 24, 2024, surrounded by his loving family.

Delbert was the son of the late William "Bill" and Lanie (Ferguson) Adkins.

He and his wife, Pamela (Denney) Adkins were married 1972 and raised their three girls in Delbert's childhood home in the Mooreland, Indiana, area.

Delbert was a simple man who loved his Lord and his family. He was a mentor to many of his daughter's friends, teaching them how to take care of everyday things. Delbert loved his church, Northside Church of God, and attended regularly until he became sick.

Delbert leaves behind his wife of 52 years, Pamela (Denney) Adkins, and their three daughters, Linda (Chan) Roberts, Melissa (Eric) Jones, and Elizabeth "Tweety" Hibbard. The joy of his life, his grandkids, Chandler Roberts II, Jacob Jones, His "Big Gil" Lacie Hibbard, and Arron Jones; his great-grandkids, Maverick King Roberts and River Jackson Roberts; his in-laws, Larry and Nettie Stroud, his "Best Buddy" and brother-in-law, Nathan Brewington Jr., and many brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, along with many nieces and nephews.
