Ms. Patsy Ann Adams, age 69, of Glenwood was called home to be with her Jesus early Sunday morning February 10, 2019 at Community Hospice of Vidalia after an extended illness.   

Ms. Adams was a Registered Nurse who retired after 30 years of service.  During her nursing career she received numerous awards and recognitions for her selfless service to those in need.  She was previously a member of Wheeler County Garden Club and Wheeler County Jaycess/Jaycets.  She also served as the Past President of the Glenwood Crusaders.  Patsy was very active in the Wheeler County Relay for Life for many years where she served in many capacities; she was instrumental in organizing teams to walk and served as the Captain of her team. She won the Doctor Frist Humanitarian Award in 1998 and was employee of the month for Fairview Park Hospital of Dublin.  She was recognized as the volunteer of the year for the Montgomery/Wheeler County Heart Unit in 1984/1985.

Patsy enjoyed sewing, arts and crafts, cooking, serving on committees, decorating, singing in the choir, being the community nurse, taking care of her elderly friends, spending time with her family, and spoiling her nephews and nieces.  But most of all, Patsy enjoyed serving others.  She enjoyed the outdoors, feeding the birds, watching the butterflies, and taking pictures.  She had a card ministry and always was an encourager to others.  Patsy was a member of Stuckey Baptist Church where she served in many capacities and leadership roles.  She always had a special place in her heart for helping others.
