Donna Elaine Adams, 84, of Punxsutawney, passed away peacefully Feb. 28, 2023, at Concordia of Franklin Park.
She was born on Sept. 15, 1938, in Home, the daughter of the late Wayne and Florence “Winnie” (Fairman) Cameron. On Oct. 11, 1958, she married Francis J. Adams, who survives.
Retired, Donna worked for Sears as a credit manager and previously for Bell Telephone. She was a member of Saints Cosmas and Damian Roman Catholic Church and a member of the rosary altar society at the church as well. Donna was an active member of the church and volunteered her time for anything that she could help with. She attended daily Mass and enjoyed joining her group of friends for a cup of coffee at McDonald’s afterwards. Donna also volunteered her time for the American Red Cross, helping with the local blood drives.
Her hobbies included shopping, gift giving and making floral arrangements, but above all she enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. She will be remembered for being a fireball of energy and her willingness to help anyone, especially her friends that she cared deeply for.

Adams; her daughter, Marsha Adams-Rush and husband Jeffrey of Wexford, and two granddaughters, Rachael Rush and fiancé Dylan Watkins, and Allison Rush, all of Pittsburgh.
