Karen White Adams

Funeral services for Ms. Karen W. Adams will be 2:00, Friday, January 18, 2019, at Riverwood Family,

with interment at Riverwood Memorial Park. Visitation will be from 5:00 until 8:00 p.m., Thursday, January 17, at Riverwood.

Karen White Adams, 67, of Brookhaven, passed from this life on January 15, 2019. She was born on September 10, 1951

to Earl Quitman White and Billie Merle Waldrop. She was a self-employed business owner and a member

of Easthaven Baptist Church. Karen "Mamaw K," as everyone knew her, was nothing short of a family woman.

 

She spent every passing second thinking of what she could do for her daughters and grandchildren.

Every ballgame, awards day, and milestone, she was always there to make sure she could be the biggest supporter she could be.

Her care and compassion knew no bounds because the love in her heart ran deeper than any ocean. You could always catch her

out and about wearing a smile while she filled you in about everything her grandchildren were up to and how proud of them she was.

Her second passion was walking with nature as she loved to keep her yard and flowerbeds perfect. The love for her will forever

be immeasurable and unfathomable.

 

Preceding her in death are her parents; her grandmother, Annie Merle Waldrop;  sister, Debra Susan Brown; and nephews, Sid and Brad Beasley.

Those left here to cherish and remember her are, her daughters, Karla Adams Gerald and Kala Adams; brothers, Ronnie White, Robert Brown;

sisters, Diane Beasley, Lisa Rudesill; three grandchildren, Nickolas Burns, Megan Gerald, and Tucker Gerald; and her special nieces and nephews

along with other loving family members and friends.

    Kala and Karla, I was so sorry to hear about your mother. I met Karen around the time Gilbert and I got married, She was joy and a trip to be around, never a dull moment. We had some fun times. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

    Oh my I can’t get the right words out about the way I feel for all Karen’s family and friends. It seems our families have gone through so much tragedy . It’s hard to believe that we’ve lost another loved one . Wrapping our heads around that we could lose another family member seems so unreal . but it happens and it took all we can just to hold on. I take heed in knowing we will join Karen and our other family members in heaven , when God’s plan is up for us .

    I pray that the Lord covers each one of you with peace and comfort. Prayers of strength for today and the days to come. I did not know her personally, but seeing things and hearing things from people that did know and love her has made it clear to me that she was a phenomenal, special and very loved lady. ~where there is grief, there was much love~ God speed.
