Lola loved the Lord and was a founding member of numerous churches. She was a member of the Houston Chapter of Women’s Aglow, and served as president. Holidays were always a festive time for Lola, with her large family around, and making her special meals.
Traveling was a passion for Lola. She traveled extensively around the world and made several trips to Israel. In 1993, she and Ken bought a home in Colorado and spent many happy summers there.
Lola was preceded in death by her parents, husbands George Adams, Kenneth Ferguson, two grandsons, Brian Burch and Samuel Saunders, siblings Gorman, Carter, and Troy Maxwell, Evelyn Ghorley and Lila Barnett.
