Posted by Jo Aguirre
Kathryn Kay Adams, 69, of Vinson, Oklahoma passed away
Friday, September 18, 2015. Kay was born August 1, 1946 in the Mangum Hospital
to Harold and Wanda (Foley) McCain of Vinson, Oklahoma. Kay attended twelve
years of public school in Vinson and was one of five members of the last
graduating class in 1964. Kay attended college in Weatherford at Southwestern
Oklahoma State University.
Kay had a love for animals, which had been directly inherited from her Mother
and Grandmother. Even though life occasionally took her away from Vinson for
other pursuits, her love was always with the ranching life down the rolling
hills of Grape Creek.
Kay married Ernie Adams on July 15, 1982 at the Spring Creek Baptist Church.
Kay’s ability to adapt and many talents were shown while working in hotel
management in Houston, as an insurance agent in Southwest Oklahoma, and for a
travel agency in Elk City. She owned two cafes in Mangum, was a receptionist for
a bank, and a PMR for the U. S. Postal Service.
Kay was an excellent cook, seamstress, and in her later years produced beautiful
pottery art. Kay was a keeper and teacher of history, especially the history of
the Vinson area.
Kay helped many people go through tough times with a firm but very loving hand.
She was one of the first to lend a shoulder to cry on when someone lost their
loved ones. She worked tirelessly to make sure everyone was all fed and cared
for; then checked up on everyone for the weeks to come to make sure everything
was alright.
Kay’s Indian heritage was a huge part of her life and once she had a
granddaughter she had the chance to express it. She named her granddaughter
Te’onna after her heritage and was extremely proud to have this chance. Te’onna
became her pride and joy and she showed her the upmost love.
Kay was preceded in death by her son, Michael; daughter Kristi O’Guin; and a
host of family and friends.
Kay is survived by her husband, Ernie Adams of the home; and her granddaughter
Te’onna Parker and her husband Chase of El Reno, Oklahoma.
Graveside services were held 10:00 A.M. Monday, September 21, 2015 at Cake Creek
Cemetery in Vinson, Oklahoma under the direction of Harmon County Funeral Home
of Hollis, Oklahoma.
