Maureen Crump Adams

Born September 10, 1933, in Oak Park, Illinois, Maureen was the beloved daughter of James and Mary (Tuohy) Crump. After moving to Okolona as a young girl, she grew up in a loving family and later married the love of her life, Sherman L. Adams, on February 12, 1955. Together, they built a beautiful life and raised a devoted family.

For 25 years, Maureen worked as a school bus driver for the Bullitt County Board of Education, transporting special needs children. She took immense pride in her work and cherished the relationships she built with the students and families she served. Her patience, kindness, and unwavering commitment left a lasting impact on countless lives.

Maureen enjoyed an active and fulfilling life. She loved bowling with friends in league play, proudly achieving a high score of 200. She also enjoyed square dancing, where she formed many lasting friendships and shared countless joyful memories with her favorite dance partner, Mel Bailey.

Above all else, Maureen treasured her family. Affectionately known as “Momo,” she shared her love, wisdom, and warmth not only with her family but with everyone fortunate enough to know her. Her life was a testament to her deep Catholic faith, compassionate spirit, and unwavering devotion to others.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her beloved husband, Sherman L. Adams; her daughter, Kathleen “Kathy” Blatz; her grandson, Brian Myers; her sons-in-law, Robert Key and Terry Blatz; and her brothers, Kevin, James, John, Joseph, Michael, and Daniel Crump.

Left to cherish her memories are her daughters, Sharon Key, Barbara Myers (Steve), Alicia Adams, and Annette Walker; her sons, Sherman Adams Jr. (Tara) and John Adams (Brandi); her 19 beloved grandchildren; numerous great-grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate caregivers and staff of Inspirations of Mt. Washington Assisted Living for the love, kindness, and exceptional care they provided. While Maureen's presence will be deeply missed, the lessons she taught, the faith she embodied, and the love she shared will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
