Edwina Theresa (Kruse) Adams, age 69, of Celina, Texas, passed away on Sunday, November 28, 2021. She was born on August 28, 1952, in Chicago, Illinois, to Leona (Andereggen) and Robert Kruse. Edwina graduated from Gage Park High School in Chicago in 1969 and soon married Mark Thomas Adams there on April 15, 1972, and they were blessed with two children.
Edwina was a caring, loving mother, wife and nana. She worked hard every day to help support her family and she ran her own daycare for several years in her home in Canoga Park, California, and later became the head cashier at Auto Stiegler Mercedes Benz where she worked alongside her husband Mark and daughter Patricia. At the age of 45 she was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and she worked until the age of 49. Even with her disabilities, she still did everything possible to help take care of her family.
She loved going to Las Vegas and playing slot machines at the casinos, watching baseball, baking, and loved her precious grandchildren. Edwina was loved while she was here with us on earth and will continue to be loved through time and all eternity. Edwina will be greatly missed by all those who knew her.
Edwina is survived by her son, Mark Adams II; her daughter, Patricia Lynn Lewis and her husband, Brien; her granddaughters, Samantha and Ava Adams; her sisters, Mary Grochowski and Carol Douglas; and her brother, Robert Kruse.
