Katherine was preceded in death by her husband, Lewis Jackson Adams, her daughter Katherine Adams Duncan, and her brother Thomas Churchill Swanner.

She was a multi generation member of the Tea and Topics Book Club, and was active in the book club until her death.

    Katherine's passion was her family. She found particular pleasure with her great grandchildren, and spending time outside in her yard. Her energy was boundless especially helping or caregiving to her family and others.

    The family would like to express a special thanks to Ebony Knight of Washington for her kindness and care for both Katherine and Lewis.
