Eugene K. “Gene” Adams went home to be with the Lord and his beloved wife at 12:48 p.m. Friday, December 11, 2009. He was 79.
After a battle with loneliness, heart and kidney trouble, he left his family behind at Reid Hospital to carry the torch of Godly living. His room was filled with family and friends as he closed his eyes on earth and opened them in heaven while they sang hymns and wiped tears.
He was born May 11, 1930 in Chillicothe, OH, one of eleven children of Elijah and Pearl Adams and came to Union County for residence in 1949.
On June 24, 1951, he was married in the Brownsville Church of Christ in Christian Union to Stella Ruth Hoke and had lived in Union County since that time. Mrs. Adams died May 31, 2009.
He had been employed by the Dana Corp. as an electrician for 33 years, retiring in 1986.
An active member of the Liberty Church of the Nazarene, he enjoyed being involved in many church activities.
He loved traveling, singing, playing guitar, farming, his Bible Study Fellowship and telling stories.
Survivors include seven children: Carolyn (Terry) Skinner of Cameron, MO, Debbie (Dell) Kelly of Columbus, IN, Jeff (Jacque) Adams of Liberty, Greg (Kay) Adams of Centerville, IN, Beverly (John) Scott of Brownsville, Brad (Wanda) Adams of Liberty, and Amy Reed of Benton, KY; 18 grandchildren, Jennifer Hart, Michael Bauer, Lori Pottorff, David Kelly, Dan Kelly, Debbie Massey, Jessica Pitcher, Josh Adams, Jerod Adams, Julie Laird, Elijah Adams, Kayla Persinger, Jennifer Scott, Ben Adams, Elizabeth Adams, Jacob Adams, Whitney McKinley and C.J.
