Adams, Maggie Fay

Maggie Fay Adams June 11, 1914 - April 7, 2007 Maggie Adams was born 
93 years ago in Many, Louisiana. Her parents, Felix and Eve Greer 
raised her and her 4 brothers and 3 sisters on a farm and in addition 
to attending school, Maggie planted, hoed and picked cotton, fed 
chickens and milked cows. After she graduated from high school, she 
and her sister, Ionia, went to Shreveport and enrolled in the 
hospital's nursing program. While there, Maggie met and married Jack 
Adams. In 1942, the couple with their two daughters, moved to Klamath 
Falls, Oregon. Maggie enjoyed caring for her children, teaching 
Sunday school, gardening, crocheting and sewing. She was a member of 
the Women of the Moose. To help supplement the family income, Maggie 
worked as a waitress at the local diner in Kirby. A couple years 
later, she became the assistant librarian at Josephine Co. Library in 
Cave Junction, Oregon. When the family moved to Bakersfield, CA, 
Maggie went to work for JC Penney and became the head of the women's 
department. In 1964, Jack and Maggie moved to Dallas, TX and for the 
next 28 years, Maggie was the manager of a large apartment complex. 
They retired in Enid, OK, to be near their daughter. After her 
husband's death, Maggie returned to California and spent her 
remaining years at Carrington of Shafter where she was cared for by a 
great staff. Maggie is survived by her sister, Ionia Franklin; 
daughters, Marie Redfern, and Jeanetta Cowden and husband, Raymond;
