Carmon Lucille (Graves) Adams was born Sept. 17, 1915, to Newton and Myrtle (Pryor) Graves in Dunlap. She died on Thur., Nov. 25, 2010, Thanksgiving Day, at the Rose Vista Nursing Home in Woodbine, at the age of 95 years, two months and eight days.
Carmon graduated from Dunlap High School in 1933. She then attended a summer teacher's program in Shenandoah. After receiving her teacher's certificate she taught country school for nine years.
On May 18, 1942, Carmon married Charles Hatcher Adams, Jr. in Omaha, Neb. The couple spent the next 34 years farming in the Woodbine area. In 1976 after retiring from farming the couple moved into Woodbine. Charles died suddenly in May of 1977. In the early 1970s Carmon worked at Dupree Variety, Bro Variety and then Countryside Timekeeper. Carmon retired reluctantly as her health declined. She moved to the Woodland Apartments in 1993 and became a resident of Rose Vista Nursing Home in 2010.
Carmon was a member of the Christian Church, holding many offices in the Women's Fellowship.
She loved having family gatherings, with her last outing at the Adams/Burch Reunion in Logan in September to celebrate her 95 birthday. Carmon's love for life, God, family and friends was contagious. Carmon loved to garden and her green thumb was amazing especially with her love for African Violets. She was a cancer survivor since 1987 and has been active in cancer awareness groups.
Carmon was preceded in death by her husband, Charles; two sisters, Velma Higgins and Ethel Rees; and two brothers, infant Eugene and Glenn Graves. She is survived by her son, Wells (Carolyn) Adams of Ames; daughter, Nancy (Frank) Gage of Gladstone, Mo.; grandchildren and great grandchildren, Gale (Adams) and Ryan Geherling and Olivia and Jasmine, Wells Eugene (Geno) and Niki Adams and Hadley, Angela (Gage) and Matt Rueter and Emma and Isaac, Adam Gage and partner Rob May; and other relatives and friends.
