Molly Crimm Adams, died March 5, 2019 in Little Rock, Arkansas 10 days from her 98th birthday. Born in Dallas, TX March 25, 1921, Molly grew up mostly in Detroit, Michigan and started her college career at Bethany College in West Virginia. Married for 50 years to H. Marston Adams (d: 1995), she and Marty were a welcoming force of nature. There was always room for one more at the table, always time for one new experience, or one more party to celebrate whatever needed celebrating.
A lover of the arts, Molly was an actor with the Clark Lake Players (Jackson, MI), a museum and opera junky, and a musician who taught children's choirs in Jackson, MI and Detroit, MI. Once her youngest was in school, she went back to college and received her bachelor's in psychology in 1976 from Oakland University.
She and Marty had a life-long passion for traveling and learning. In between travel, they volunteered in elementary schools in Arkansas after retiring from Michigan. Molly was a rock for her family. She shared with us an ever-present love and a deep abiding faith.
Molly is survived by her children: Candy (Mary Kaye), Beth (Bob), Heather (Steve), Jim (Patti), and Nick (Dana), 6 Grandchildren and 4 (soon to be 6) great-grand-grandchildren.
