Sammie Lene Inman Adams Bellis, 93, a loving mother and grandmother, went home

Colleyville, Texas.

Sammie was born Saturday, April 4, 1914, in Corsicana, Texas, and was the 
fifth of seven children born to Sam Houston Inman and Ruth A. Inman. Shortly 
after graduating from High School in Corsicana, she married Charles Ray (Doc) 
Adams on December 12, 1935 in San Antonio, Texas. She and Charles sooned moved 
to Fort Worth, Texas. 

Sammie was the first ticket office manager at the opening of the Casa Manana 
Theatre, circa 1957. She worked parttime as a lead ticket agent for the Fort 
Worth Stock Show and Rodeo and Ice Capades from 1945 through 1967. She then 
retired in 1989 from her fulltime position at Farm and Home Savings and Loan 
Association after 27 plus years of service as a PBX operator. Since her 
retirement, she had resided in her home of 48 years in the Arlington Heights 
section of Fort Worth. 

This unique woman prayed for and was an unlimited source of encouragement and 
support for her children and grandchildren. She was a selfless, tireless lover 
of God and lover of people. Her childlike faith led her to the Lord at an 
early age and served to fuel her eternal optimism, hopefulness and 
enthusiasm. "Blessed in the sight of the Lord is the death of His Saints" 
(Psalm 116:15).

Sammie was preceded in death by a daughter, Sammie Rae Adams; two husbands, 
Charles Ray Adams and Joe Junior Bellis; a granddaughter, Leslie Caprice 
Dearing; and by her two brothers and three of her sisters.

Survivors include: Daughter, Nancy Diane Adams Dearing Hutchens and Husband 
Darace J. Hutchens; Son, John Quincy Adams and Wife Jennifer Lynn Turbyfill 
Adams; Grandchildren, Lellan Curt Dearing, Christin Danielle Adams, and Olivia 
Elizabeth Adams; Step-Grandchildren, Danya Powell, Mark Hutchens and Angela 
Nevling; Six great-grand children; two great-great-grandchildren; a sister, 
Nina Hardin; several nieces and nephews; and long-time caregiver, Felicia 
Coston. These and others are among the many who loved Sammie deeply and will 
greatly miss her presence.
