Adams is survived by his wife of 70 years, Edith Helen (Carter) Adams, his son Carlton W. Adams Jr., two grandchildren, Michelle S. Errington and Carlton (Trey) W. Adams III,
five great-grandchildren, and a sister Merle Farrell.
Born on November 1, 1921 in Crow, Texas, Adams was one of seven children of Lem and Annie E. (Richardson) Adams. He graduated from Union Grove High School in Gladewater, Texas in 1940.
Adams was a Sergeant in the Army Air Corps during World War II. He went to work for Magnolia Oil Company shortly after the end of the war and retired from ExxonMobil in 1984 after spending most of his career working in south Texas and south Louisiana.
Adams was a quiet person but will be long remembered for his caring, devotion and loyalty to friends and family. Adams was active in the Churches of Christ wherever his work took him and was one of the founders and a Deacon of the Longview Church of Christ in Longview, Texas.
Rest in peace, Poppy.
