Mrs. Adkins, or Katie as she was known by her friends, was a championship golfer from age 16, playing well into her 90s. She was deeply committed to every aspect of the game.

She owned standard poodles and later raised toy poodles. Mrs. Adkins has no immediate survivors, but leaves numerous friends whom she touched.
