Mary Jane Robson Adams

Mary Jane Adams, went to be with The Lord Jesus on July 2, 2026 at Elbert Memorial Hospital peacefully with her immediate family by her side.

Mary Jane was the widow of Lloyd Esmond Adams, to whom she was married sixty years. For the last ten years she lived in Elberton, Georgia with her son and daughter-in-law, Jeff and Sandy Adams.

Mary Jane was 96, and born in Kewanee, Illinois, on February 23, 1930. She was granddaughter of the late Richard Yates Robson and Catherine Murchison Robson (Toulon, Illinois) and Carl and Laura Power (Kewanee, Illinois), and the only child of the late Charles Spurgeon Robson and Josephine Power Robson (Toulon, Illinois).

Mary Jane, her husband and two sons moved to Colorado in 1962. She spent her life serving and caring for others as a devoted homemaker and grandmother. She enjoyed serving as secretary and organist at Hillcrest Baptist Church, teaching Women’s Bible Study Fellowship, reading, painting, sewing, arts, crafts, swimming, puzzles, watching the Denver Broncos and (in more recent years) cheering for her favorite player, Mecole Hardman, Jr.

Mary Jane is survived by her children and their spouses, Brent and Donna Adams of Marana, Arizona, and Jeff and Sandy Adams, of Elberton, Georgia; three grandchildren, Jessica Adams of Lakewood, Colorado, Katherine Adams of Golden, Colorado, and Elizabeth Adams of Lakewood, Colorado, and one great grandchild, Stella Adams, all of whom she loved very much.

The family wishes to extend their sincerest appreciation to all the wonderful doctors at the Elberton Medical Center, especially Dr. Dan McAvoy who was her primary physician for the last ten years, and the compassionate staff at Elbert Memorial Hospital, and to Mary Jane’s extended family of caregivers: Pam Allen, Latoya Cummings, Phyllis Highsmith, Marie Mize, Joyce Rivers, Jennifer Rucker, and Jenny Yeargin.

“Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His faithful servants.“ Psalm 116:15
