Carol Ann Adams

Carol Ann Adams (formerly Valentine and nee Bartlett) walked into the arms of her Savior on July 26, 2022. She was born on March 2, 1939, to Vernon and Elsie (nee Kandul) Bartlett in Long Island, New York. She was predeceased by both her parents and her husband of 36 years, Robert Scott Valentine, Sr. She is survived by husband, Algie Adams. She leaves her sister, Janet Bartlett; her four children, Scott (Jane Ann Thompson) Valentine, Douglas (Julie) Valentine, Kim Valentine, and Gordon Valentine; her Grandchildren, Scott (fiancé Issys) Valentine, III, Chris (girlfriend Bek) Valentine, Aimee (Michael) Smith, Andrew (Nicole) Valentine, Rebekah Evans, Drew (girlfriend Mattea) Valentine; Great grandchildren Breanna Valentine, Ember Valentine and Ronin Smith, nieces, Christine (Ken) McConnell and Wendy (Tim) Bruin; and cousins Jim (Linda) Kandul and Gordon (Edwina) Valentine and more extended family and friends. Carol Ann wore many hats throughout her life. To her family, she was a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a traveler, a lover of history, a tour guide and navigator of local areas, and a creator of memories. To others, she was a volunteer, a source of encouragement, a behind the scenes helper, and a friend. She enjoyed many activities, but the last few years her favorites included going on long drives to enjoy the scenery, attending church and gospel concerts, reading her bible, coloring in adult coloring books, and memorizing scriptures from her bible studies. Carol Ann had a love for life. She spent a lot of time helping others and giving them opportunities that others wouldn’t. She opened up her home to some men who otherwise would have been homeless and treated them like her own children. If you knew Carol Ann, you were important to her. She would always make time for you, she would share her last meal with you, she would help you do anything and everything within her power. She loved her family, friends, and neighbors. If you were a stranger, and met her, you were now a lifelong friend. Many people benefited from her giving spirit, and as much as possible, if you needed help, she helped. We are relieved in knowing that Carol Ann accepted Christ as her Savior, and that one day, those who love the Lord will all dance as she is today, with Jesus! A celebration of life will be 4:00 pm Saturday, October 22, 2022 in Strasburg Seventh Day Adventist Church 359 N. Massanutten Street Strasburg officiated by Pastor Tom Mozingo. Friends will be received an hour prior to the service in the church.
