Obituary: Adams, Lois Amelia “Mickey”
Age 91
Lois was born January 4, 1923 in Twin Falls, Idaho to William Gaston Rosencrantz Petersen and Emma Elvera Parrish.
Lois met David L. Adams and they were later married November 3, 1943 in the Cardston Temple in Alberta, Canada.
They first lived in Farragut Naval Base, then moved to Spirit Lake, before finally settling in Post Falls in 1956.
Lois filled her life with children and family.
She always spread joy and happiness where ever she went.
Her love of sewing kept her busy and was a talent she loved to share with others.
She was very involved in the Post Falls community, and was president of the PTA, helped start the first city 4-H club, and had been honored as citizen of the year in 1983.
She made the Post Falls, JV basketball uniforms, the drill team uniforms, cheerleaders skirts, and drum major outfits.
You could drive by the house to see what gown or wedding dress was hanging in the picture window at her home.
She also made many gowns for the royalty on the Post Falls floats and gowns for dances.
She was also very active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and so enjoyed all the activities with church members.
It also meant so much to her to have her calling of historian for many years.
Lois had nine children, Danny (Evelyn) Adams, Wesley Adams, Georjean (the late Jerry Kuntz) Keentyt, Kathlean (Adams) Garren, Wayne (Letha) Adams, Merriann (Adams) Irish, Randy (Tammy) Adams, Phillip Adams, and Becky (Dan) Hart.
She had 31 grandchildren, 48 great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren, (and still growing), and numerous nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her husband, parents, and two sisters.
Funeral Services will be held Monday, October 6, 2014 at 12:00 Noon at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, 1670 N. McGuire Rd., Post Falls, Idaho with burial to follow at Coeur d’ Alene Memorial Gardens, 7315 N. Government Way, Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho.
Mom, you will be so missed by all of us terribly, and so many more.
