CHAUMONT, N.Y. — Sharon “Kay” Adams, 71, of Chaumont, N.Y., sister of a Sibley resident, ended her brave battle with cancer at her home on Saturday, Sept. 29, 2018, surrounded by her dear family and friends.
Visitation will be from 4 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 2, at Reed & Benoit Funeral Home in Watertown, N.Y. A graveside service will be at noon Friday, Oct. 5, at Drummer Township Cemetery in Gibson City. Rosenbaum Funeral Home in Gibson City is assisting the family with arrangements.
Kay was born Nov. 8, 1946, at Paxton, a daughter of Francis and Bernadine Collins Adams. She created special memories for all of her kids, from her terrible cooking to her tremendous love of Christmas.
Kay was preceded in death by her parents; her grandparents; two brothers, David Adams and Delmar Anderson; and a grandson, Michael Phillips.
Everywhere Kay lived she left many memorable friends who remained her friends for all of her life. She spent the most time in Vacaville, Calif., making a new start for her young family and setting the example for a strong single mother in the 1970s. There, she remarried and created a home full of love and coziness, being most proud of her fruit orchard and rose garden.
One of Kay’s favorite jobs of which she often spoke was her time as a domestic missionary outreach at World Vision in Federal Way, Wash. She considered herself blessed to have been employed there while the founder, Robert Pierce, was still active. She greatly enjoyed the times he would walk around, stop and visit with the employees, who he considered the backbone of the company. She made many friends while on the phone, telling them about the work of this special nonprofit Christian organization.
She was an active member of the Emmanuel Congregational Church of Watertown, N.Y., having served as a deacon with her dog, Linus, for many years.
Kay had many passions in her life, from her special wink to all her nieces and nephews, Dr. Pepper, and indulging in her her insane amount of watching QVC.
Kay listened to a different drummer. Her theme song was, “I did it my way.” All who really knew her, knew this.
