Roxella "Pinky" Adams' Obituary
Roxella “Pinky” Adams age 72 passed away Thursday, November 3, 2016 in Leesburg, Florida. Pinky was born in Altoona, Pennsylvania and moved to the Fruitland Park area from Altamonte Springs, Florida over 35 years ago. She was a Registered Nurse and her career spanned over 50 years. Currently she worked as a supervisor and manager with the Patriot Care Management. She was known by those closest to her for kind, gentle, and generous spirit. She was always willing to help someone else even if it brought personal sacrifice on occasion. She was a “photo bug” and loved taking pictures, and she was also a passionate scrap booker. Pinky was happiest when she was spending time with her family during holidays and special get-togethers but it was her grandchildren that gave her the greatest joy in her life.
She is survived by her husband of 35 years – David Adams; daughter Elizabeth (Robb) Eboch Bradley of Fruitland Park; son – Jonathan (Christy) Adams – Mobile, Alabama; 4 brothers – Rev. Calvin Mauk of Pfafftown, NC; Rev. Dennis Mauk of Winston Salem, NC; Donald Mauk of Greenville, SC; and Tim Mauk of Simpsonville, SC; 4 grandchildren – Cheyenne, William, Rhett and Jordan; and 2 grand-dogs – Izzy and Miles.
