He graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi in 1950 and settled in Summit where he lived until 2005 when he and his wife moved to Flowood, Mississippi. He retired in 1988 from the Mississippi State Tax Commission. Mr. Adams was a devoted father and member of the First Southern Methodist Church in Summit, where he attended and served as deacon and trustee for many years.
Mr. Adams is preceded in death by a brother, Peyton Adams (Pat) of Summit and sisters, Grace Hunter of South Carolina, Frances Lawhorn of Hernando, Mississippi, and Milton Singley and Margaret Covington of Columbia, Mississippi.

Smith of Southern Pines, Lemuel Garner Adams III (Lem) and his wife, Marcia Robinson Adams of Brandon and Natchez, James Noel Adams (Jim) and his wife, Jo May Adams of Brandon. He is also survived by his six grandchildren, Adam Smith, Jake Adams, Whitty Adams McLeod, Lem Adams IV, Bailey Adams, and Libby Adams Newell; two step-grandchildren Meredith May Roth, and Greg May; and by eight great-grandchildren with another expected soon. Surviving him also are three sisters, Libby Sprecher of Macon, Mississippi, Martha Patty of Hernando, Mississippi, and Lois DiDomenico of La Plata, Maryland, and numerous nephews and nieces scattered across the U.S.
