Joan Francis Renner Hicks Adams, 72, of Charles Town, WV, became heaven's newest angel on July 19, 2014, four days short of her 73rd birthday.
Born July 22, 1941 in Winchester, VA, she was the daughter of the late Albert W. and Eva Kline Renner.
She was a graduate of Clarke County High School, class of 1960 and was of the Methodist faith.
Joan was a loving mother of four girls when she lost her first husband, Roy Hicks. At the time her oldest daughter was 15 and against all odds, she held her family together. Joan was the "second Mom" to scores of other youth who loved and respected her. Though saddened for their loss the family is thankful for the time they were able to spend with her.
God rewarded her with a second true love in Elmer Adams. Sadly Elmer also passed but strong family ties remained with his family, including a very close relationship with Elmer's mother until she passed and brother-in-law and her stepson. She was well loved by all she met.
She is survived by four daughters, Terry Brackett and husband, Jay of Charles Town and their family, James and Tabitha, Erin and Benjamin.
