Peggy Adams passed away peacefully January 10, 2021. She was born to Nancy and Charles Jordan in 1934 on top of Mason Hill, Cameron County PA. Following a wave of scarlet fever in 1937 when she and her siblings lost their mother, the children were split up and taken in by various family members and friends. Peggy was adopted by her aunt Helen Jordan and raised on the family homestead in Huntley by Helen and her sister Grace.

An extraordinary and gifted woman, she worked as an executive secretary for Bethlehem Steel Corporation (Bethlehem PA) and AT&T (Basking Ridge NJ), among others. After she retired from GTE Electronic Components Division (Williamsport PA), she started her own company, Your Place or Mine, training private individuals and the Williamsport Area's business owners, employees and executives alike in the then-new software programs such as Microsoft Word and Excel, WordPerfect, Lotus, and Peachtree Accounting.

A self-described "mountain girl," Peggy loved spending time outdoors. She was an active member of the Audubon Society and camped as often as she could with family on Mason Hill. Her travels took her to Alaska to see wildlife, Massachusetts for whale watching, and she drove to virtually every other state east of the Mississippi and Texas to visit friends and family. Peggy never met an animal she didn't like or a cookie she wouldn't eat. She was intelligent, wise, funny, stubborn, kind and compassionate, and the best mother and friend her daughter, with whom she shared a birthday, could ever ask for. She will be missed terribly.

Peggy was preceded in death by her brother Vic Jordan and sisters Velthea Jordan, Caroline Gunsallus and Janet Johnson. She is survived by her daughter Beverly Adams-Hoover and husband Michael Hoover of Lititz, two grandsons and their wives, six great-grandchildren, her niece Lue Ann Clark of Montoursville, and many other nieces, nephews, cousins and 'relations' too many to count.

Per Peggy's request, services will be private and instead a celebration of her life will be held later in the year. Contrary to her wishes, however, the family will not place her ashes in a Garfield cookie jar. In lieu of flowers or the cookie jar, please make a donation to an animal shelter in her honor.

The family expresses their gratitude to the staffs of Legend of Lititz and Conestoga View for being there for Peggy, because we couldn't.
