Evelyn R. Adams

Evelyn Ruth Adams, of Leesburg, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, at the Grace Village Retirement Community in Winona Lake. She was 96 years old. Born on July 23, 1928, she was the daughter of Everett Sr. and Violet Fisher Tom. She leaves behind a legacy of love, devotion, and an unwavering commitment to her family and faith.

Evelyn had a fulfilling career, dedicating many years as a secretary for Beaver Dam Schools and later as a clerk for the Kosciusko County government. She married Charles “Charlie” Adams on November 25, 1948, in Milford, Indiana. Together they built a beautiful life, enriched by their shared values and deep commitment to their family. Charlie preceded her in death in 2015, leaving a profound impact on her life.

A longtime member of the North Webster Church of God, Evelyn’s faith guided her actions and relationships. Her faith brought her great peace and joy throughout life’s ups and downs.

An avid seamstress, she took pleasure in creating beautiful pieces, needlepointing, and baking her family tradition of anise cookies, and making homemade ice cream. Evelyn also enjoyed playing the piano, working outside, boating on Tippecanoe Lake, and sharing moments with her beloved cat, Mandy.

She is survived by her daughters, Linda Tucker and Nancy (Allen) Robinson; grandchildren, Carla (Greg) Timm, Jack (Melissa) Claussen, and Michelle (Steven) Tucker Humphries; great grandchildren, Olivia, Draven, and Caden; and sister, Peggy “Jo Jo” Sheler.
