Margaret "Meg" R. Adams

A memorial service celebrating the life of Margaret R. “Meg” Adams, 69, of Granville, will be held at 1:00 P.M. Tuesday, July 21, 2015 at The Church of St. Edward the Confessor, 785 Newark Granville Rd., Granville with Pastor Jeff Smith and Monsignor Paul P. Enke co-officiating. Interment will follow at Maple Grove Cemetery in Granville.

Meg passed away Friday, July 17, 2015 at her home surrounded by family. She was born in Homer, New York to the late William and Claire Rice.

After graduating from Arnot Ogden in Elmira, New York, Meg was employed as a registered nurse at State University Hospital in Syracuse, NY, where she met her future husband John L. Adams.

Meg was a member of TWIG #14 and Twentieth Century Flyers.  She was an avid reader and talented crafter, particularly in scrapbooking and knitting.  Additionally, she enjoyed camping, traveling, bowling, and gardening.  She will be remembered as a loving and caring wife, mother, and grandmother. Grandchildren were cherished by Meg, and she was steadfast in passing along the art of pie making, sharing s’mores, and creating memories with them. She wanted to share life experiences like she had with her own grandmother.  She was looking forward to the promotion of her son Michael to full colonel in August.

Surviving are her husband of 45 years, John L. Adams, M.D.; son and daughter-in-law, Lt. Col. Michael C. and Thomasina Adams; daughters and sons-in-law, Jennifer and Stephane Murphy, and Mary and Anselmo Morales; grandchildren, William and Olivia Adams, Sean, Jack and James Murphy, and Maria, Esperanza, Anselmo, and Enrico Morales; sisters and brother-in-law, Jeanette and Gary Sweeney, and Barbara McGiffin; and nieces and nephews, Monica Sweeney, Mason Sweeney (fiance Mercedes), Kimberly (Aaron) Jackson.

The family will receive friends Monday, July 20, 2015 from 5 to 7 P.M. at the McPeek-Hoekstra Funeral Home, 133 S. Prospect St., Granville. Online condolences may be expressed at www.mcpeekhoekstra.com
