It is with profound sadness and deep affection that we announce the passing of Alma Lee Adams, who left us peacefully on the 14th of November, 2025, just shy of her 94th birthday. Alma was born on November 24, 1931, in Kershaw County, South Carolina, a place she held dear in her heart throughout her life. 

Alma was the epitome of warmth, love, and care. As a devoted homemaker, she found her greatest joy in nurturing her family and creating a home filled with love. She was a foster parent for 35 years. Her love for children was unmatched, and her home was always open for family, friends, and anyone in need of care. Alma's skills in the kitchen were legendary, and her delightful home-cooked meals brought together people from all walks of life. Her collard greens, in particular, were a special delight. Her hobbies extended beyond the kitchen, as she loved fishing and tending to her garden, where her collard greens grew in abundance. 

A woman of strong faith, Alma was a faithful member of Cantey Hill Baptist Church in Cassatt. Her belief in the Lord was unshakeable and provided her with strength and solace.

She has left behind her loving children, Lelia Mae Belton (Rev. J.R. Belton) of Cassatt, John Adams (Ruth Reynolds) of Camden, Carl Adams (Mary Adams) of Barnwell, S.C., Richard Adams (Shirley Adams) of Clarksville, Tenn., and Rachel Forman (Willie Forman) of Cassatt; sons-in-law, Edward Stover and Rev. Bennie Lee; sister, Rosa Lee; 23 grandchildren; and a host of great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.  She was preceded in death by her parents, Miller Mack and Minnie Curtis Gather Mack; husband, Leroy Adams; daughters, Patricia Lee and Selvilla Stover; sisters, Rachel Gooden, Mary Tucker, and Ethel Tucker; daughter-in-law, Ora Adams; special friend, Gracie Richardson. 

The family will receive friends Friday, November 21, 2025 from 3:00-5:00 p.m. at Funeral Home, 832 Ridgeway Road, Lugoff, South Carolina, 29078. The funeral service will take place on Saturday, November 22, 2025 at 11:00 am at Cantey Hill Baptist Church, Cantey Hill Road, Cassatt, South Carolina, 29032 with burial to follow in the church cemetery.

The family extends a heartfelt thanks to Mrs. Edna Drakeford for her loving care provided to Mrs. Alma and also to MUSC Hospice for their love and support.
