Mildred (Millie) Elaine Adams, 88, passed away on December 31, 2017, with family at her side. She was born in Hitchcock, South Dakota, daughter of Michael and Ellen LeGrand. She graduated from high school in Bonilla, South Dakota, and attended NW College of Commerce in Huron, South Dakota. Millie worked in various positions and locations for the U.S. government for over 6 years. In addition, she worked for over 18 years in the private sector. Her favorite job with the government was working for Major General Leander Doan with the 2nd Armor Division in Germany. It was at this job she met her future husband, William Adams, who was serving as General Doan’s military aide. One of Millie’s favorite parts of being a military spouse was the opportunity to travel throughout the United States and overseas. Lifelong friendships were formed during these travels. She was a member of Bethany United Methodist Church in Summerville, SC. Millie was preceded in death by her parents and her husband, William Adams. She is survived by her sisters Frances Puffer and Betty Ames (Wendell), daughter Susan (Tim Jones), son Michael (Shirley), granddaughters Elizabeth (David Coons) and Michelle Adams, grandson Ryan Adams, and great granddaughter Alexis Coons.

I have never met this lovely woman, but I know her son and granddaughter. They are both wonderful people with the latter being a very close friend of mine. I wish I could have met her, but in a way I feel like I already have. Her impact on the lives of others extends far, and I would be remiss to not honor her memory and send my condolences. May she Rest In Peace and may her memory live on forever.

Millie lives on through the two wonderful children she and Bill raised and their families. Her children, grandchildren, and great grandchild all loved her and felt her sweet spirit every time they spent time with her. In the 40 years I was lucky enough to know her, she was always warm of heart, thoughtful, caring and overflowed with kindness and love. I am fully confident that she is happily sitting at the right hand of God and smiling down at her family and loved ones. She is always with you and rest peacefully that you will see her again. This is God's promise, and she went to rest peacefully knowing this promise.

It was an honor to have known her. May she be resting in the arms of our sweet Jesus, free of pain. Our prayers are that you find comfort in our Lord. May He heal your grieving hearts during this difficult time. Love and blessings always.

Dahdo, at your bedside I told you that you were the best grandmother I could have ever had, I was lucky to have you. I thanked you for always being interested in what was going on with me and caring. You helping me study for the school spelling bees ,and I won 7th and 8th grade thanks to your help: )
Lexi (Coo) and I love you. I asked you to squeeze my hand if you could hear me and you squeezed it over and over to let me know you heard me then you put your arm on my back. As a kid, my favorite place to eat was at your house. You had the best lasagna and punch. I am sure you are with your cat Snowflake and Dedah now. Lexi sang happy birthday to you today anyhow. She will remember you through all the videos and pics I took. As my dad said, you were an Angel on this Earth and never had a bad thing to say about anybody. Until me meet again, Love Liz (Mert), Dave and Lexi (Coo).
