McAdams Spot: We miss you, Grams!

This is just an extension from my post yesterday. My Grams went to be with Jesus on March 26th. Here is her obituary.

"Betty Jean Buck, 81, went to be with her Heavenly Father early in the morning on March 26th, 2011, in her home in Ardmore, Oklahoma. Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, March 29, 2011 at Crystal Rock Cathedral, Ardmore, Okla. with the Reverend Walt Spradling officiating. Interment will follow at Hillcrest Memorial Park, Ardmore, Okla.

Born on August 29, 1929, in Ardmore, Okla, to Mr. James Monroe Herring and Mrs. Ethel Elberta (Hickman) Herring. Betty Jean was raised in Ardmore, Okla. Married to her childhood sweetheart, Charles Ray Buck on New Year's Eve, December 31, 1947, she was proud of their sixty-three years together. As they raised their two sons, she was an avid fan and could always be counted on to be in the stands cheering for them and their teammates.

Betty Jean loved her family and was known by one and all as 'Grams,' a name bestowed by her granddaughter. After working for seventeen years as a secretary at Lincoln Elementary, she retired to become a homemaker and companion to her husband. They could often be seen in their travel trailer beating a path to various campgrounds. She will be remembered for her unshakable faith in her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. A Christian from a tender young age, she was a member of CrystalRock Cathedral for twenty-six years.

She was preceded in death by her parents; and sisters, Jackie Davis, Billie Eaton and Louise Clark. Betty Jean is survived by her husband, Charles Buck, of the home; son, Wayne Buck and wife, Linda, of Tulsa, Okla. and son, Jim Buck and wife Kathy, of Ardmore, Okla; a granddaughter, Tiffany McAdams and husband, Peter, of Minneapolis, Minn; grandson, Matthew Buck and wife, Amy, of Tulsa, Okla; and grandson, Trent Buck and wife, Ashley, of Fort Polk, Louisiana; six great-grandchildren, Clayton, Jordan, Tucker, Harper, Adeline and Elaina; brother-in-law ,Tommy Buck and wife Linda. All of us will greatly miss her, yet we celebrate her heavenly homecoming."

Here are a few pictures that my mom took the day of her funeral.

Paps (standing) with his brother Tommy. This a random fact about both of my grandparents. My Grams was one of 4 girls and Paps was one of 4 boys. These are the only two left (total).
