Mr. Paul Ellis Adams Sr., 77, husband of Betty Jean for 57 years, went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, March 20, 2012.
Mr. Adams was born one of six children on July 13, 1934 in Simpsonville to the late Benjamin Woodfin Adams and Lena Garrett Adams. He worked for many years at Abbey Mills before retiring from J.D. Hollingsworth. He loved to garden and was an avid hunter. He was a member of Mauldin First Baptist Church and a huge fan of baseball and the Atlanta Braves. Paul was very active in the Masonic Order in South Carolina. He was Past Master of Empire Masonic Lodge #213, Past Patron of Empire Chapter Order of the Eastern Star. He was a dedicated Shriner of Hejaz Shrine Center for over 40 years helping raise money for Shriner's Hospital for Children. He was a life member of Golden Strip Shrine Club.
He was also survived by a son, a daughter, a granddaughter, three step-grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and five step-great-grandchildren, as well as one brother and two sisters, many cousins, nieces, and nephews, precious friends and neighbors, and "adopted" brother and sister Charles and Marilyn Hazel (who both passed away later in 2012, after Paul's passing). He was predeceased by two brothers Don and Virgil Adams.
His smiling face will be missed by his numerous friends and family.
Memorial services were held at Fletcher Funeral Home Chapel in Fountain Inn and Masonic Rites were rendered by Empire Masonic Lodge #213. At this time, his burial location is unknown to this originator (will supply that information once known).
