Wanda Jo Adams, more commonly known as Jody, passed away at home surrounded by family and people who cared for her, the morning of February 2, 2011 in Denver, Colorado. Jody was born September 14, 1928 in Clyde, Texas to Archie and Duckie Pee. When she turned 18 her father gave his blessing for her to marry her high school sweetheart, Bobby Drue Adams on her birthday in 1946. Together they raised five children. Their family moved several times to accommodate Bob's career with the El Paso Natural Gas Company. The majority of their lives were spent in El Paso and Odessa, Texas, with an 11 year stay in Farmington, New Mexico.
