| Adams, Lucille Johnson Lucille (Johnson) Adams, age 96, went home to her Savior on July 3, 2010. Although her family will always miss her, they rejoice that she's arrived on heaven's shore, no longer trapped in a body that had become frail. Lucille was born on February 13, 1914, in Riverside, CA, the third of four daughters born to Walter & Madge Johnson. The Johnsons moved to Idaho in 1920 where they farmed in the Meridian and Kuna area for many years. After graduating from Kuna High School, Lucille moved to Boise where she lived and worked for the majority of her adult life. Lucille married Ralph E. Adams on Oct. 2, 1948. The couple was blessed with a son and a daughter before Ralph's death in a plane crash on Sept. 23, 1951. From then on, Lucille's world revolved around her children. She instilled in them the belief that they could achieve their dreams if they worked hard enough. Laughter was a frequent sound in the Adams household and love was present in abundance. Lucille's dearest friends were her three sisters. Her greatest joy was found in her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, as well as in her nieces and their extended families. Her greatest passion was her love of Jesus. She lived by faith, and in doing so was a great example to others. Lucille is survived by her son, Rick Adams (Joyce) of Binghamton, NY, and her daughter, Robin Lee Hatcher of Meridian, ID; her four granddaughters, Wendy Burdick (Benoit) of Binghamton, NY, Michaelyn Keiser (John) of Boise, Cheri Henney (Don) of Swedesboro, NJ, and Jennifer Whitt (Wayne) of Boise; her ten great-grandchildren, Donny, Max, Joseph, Ian, Shayla, Rachel, Vince, Xavierre, Sitarra, and Salvatore; her sister, Phoebe McGrath; and her four nieces and their families. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; two sisters, Marjorie Kaiser and Dorothy Burke; and her step- daughter, Patt Miller. A visitation for family and friends will be held from 9:00am to 10:00 am, with the funeral service beginning at 10:00 am on Thursday, June 8, 2010 at Boise Valley Christian Communion, 1177 N. Roosevelt St. Boise. A graveside service will follow at Cloverdale Funeral Memorial Park.
