Armand Joseph Adams Sr. passed away peacefully Thursday, May 10, 2012, at his 
home in Lacombe (Big Branch) after a difficult battle with pancreatic cancer. 

He was born July 16, 1945, in New Orleans to Henrietta Blanc Adams and the late 
George Charles Adams Jr.

The beloved husband of Mary Ann Legaux Adams, he is survived by his daughter, 
Rachel K. Adams-Wood (Michael); one son, Armand J. Adams Jr.; his beloved 
Godson, Keith P. Adams (Vivienne); four sisters: Diane A. Vicknair, Jeannine A. 
Garrott (Robert), Suzette A. Beasley and Denise A. Legaux; one brother, George 
C. Adams III (Carol); and two grandchildren, Keith II and Brett Adams.

Valentin and brother-in-laws Marcel Vicknair, George Beasley and Harold Legaux.

cousins, relatives and friends.

Armand was an electrical contractor and the owner/operator of Adams Electric, 
Inc. for over 40 years. His business was based on the Northshore, and he was a 
dedicated parishioner of Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church in Mandeville.

Orleans and a graduate of St. Augustine High School, and he always felt that 
his true home was Louisiana.
