Betty (Broughton) Adams

Betty was born in London Kentucky during the Depression, as a middle child in a close-knit family of six children. Although short of funds, they were wealthy in simple childhood pleasures and love for each other. Betty married the love of her life Herman Adams in Bartlesville, Kentucky, and the couple were wed for 54 years until his death in 2002. They had two children Larry Adams (Dayton OH.) And Linda Marie Farlow (Prineville OR.)

Betty felt blessed that her parents and all of her siblings migrated to Prineville Oregon so they could remain together in adulthood. At one time the family blossomed to 88 direct relatives in the Prineville area. She resided there for 67 years.

Betty was a lifelong Christian, a devoted wife mother grandmother aunt and daughter. She was a dedicated housewife and helpmate. Her joys in life came from the numerous family gatherings, where in a family of Southern Cooks she was proudly the apple pie maker. She and Herman enjoyed large family hunting trips in the falls, with her eye towards the camping.

Upon Herman’s retirement the couple enthusiastically enjoyed camping and bass fishing on the John Day River, returning home only to restock and return to the river. In her later years she enjoyed her independence, her beloved dog Tiny , and staying close to home.
