Carol Adams

July 4, 1951 - March 25, 2021

Ms. Carol Adams of Willoughby, Ohio passed away at the age of 69 on the morning of March 25th, 2021. She transitioned peacefully at David Simpson Hospice Center in Cleveland Ohio after a challenging journey with Pancreatic Cancer that began in 2019. 

She is survived by her three loving children: Nick, Brian, Kimberly, as well as Kimberly’s husband Greg, her two grandchildren Lyla and Renee, and her three brothers, Greg, David, and Lawrence and their spouses.

Carol was born in central Pennsylvania to Walter and Dorothy Adams. She attended The University of Pittsburgh, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree. She went on to obtain a Master’s degree from Kent State University and enjoyed a multi-decade career as a Speech and Language Pathologist where she worked in various settings including schools and nursing homes. She spent the latter half of her career devoted to improving the lives of students with special needs at the Positive Education Program (PEP) Phoenix Day Treatment Center, located in the Greater Cleveland area. Her work brought her great joy and purpose through the calling of helping others.

In her free time, she found continued joy and peace throughout her life from spending time with her family, and through her spiritual following. She found solace in her beliefs of metaphysics and spirituality through practices like Reiki, Spirit Guide Readings, and her faith in angels. She enjoyed being outdoors surrounded by nature and water. Her final days were spent in a room with an incredible view looking out over Lake Erie, in the company of her loving children.

Carol’s children plan to host a gathering in the Cleveland area for anyone who wishes to celebrate her life around the 4th of July.
