Coralee was preceded in death by her parents and husband: John Paul Adams.; brothers: Arthur Curry and William Hoten Curry; sisters: Alma Howell, Eva Curry, Enola Oliveaux, Gladys Richey, Fannie Tyler Morris, Josephine Willis and Vivian Stuart. She is survived by five nephews: William H. Curry, Alabama; William H. "Buck" Curry, Crowville, LA; Charles Richey, Many, LA; James C. Stuart, Columbia, LA; and Gary Stuart, Monroe, LA.

The family wishes to acknowledge Mary Simon Briggs for the wonderful friendship, love and care she bestowed upon Aunt Coralee for over fifty years. The friendship cannot be measured as it was extraordinary. The two families enjoyed plane trips and immeasurable times together as friends. In fact, this friendship is the cause or Coralee and Paul's residency in Lafayette.

Coralee's hobbies were varied from knitting afghans for family and friends, yardwork, flowers, sewing, and she was an expert tailor. She and late husband Paul enjoyed many travels back to roots in Caldwell Parish, and to Oregon and Washington visiting relatives and friends.

Coralee and Paul lived in Monroe, LA, several years and while there, she was employed as Secretary and Bookkeeper at the Bayou DeSiard Country Club. In later years, after moving to Lafayette, she was a member of the Desk & Derrick Club, and was Bookkeeper for Prudhomme Truck Tank Service until retirement.

The family would like to extend a special thanks to sitters, Gloria Arceneaux, Jerleeza Arceneaux, Mary Broussard, and Betty Malveaux for taking such wonderful loving care of Aunt Coralee during many trips to the hospital and while a resident of Cornerstone South Nursing Home. Special thanks to Hospice of Acadiana for their loving care of Cora.
