May 11, 2022
Miriam “Mim” E. Adams, 102 of Lititz, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, May 11, 2022 at United Zion Retirement Community. She was born in Lancaster to the late Harry and Edith Brubaker, and was the beloved wife to her late husband Ivan C. Adams, Jr. who passed in 1971.
Mim had a wonderful faith as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Her love for Jehovah God and his son Christ Jesus was always first in her life. She began her life on a dairy farm near Newmanstown. Her dad and her delivered milk in the area. Mim met her future husband Ivan on Clay Rd. Her father had his horses pulling a full load of hay with Mim sitting on top, as he turned onto Clay Rd. the wagon upset with Mim under the hay. Ivan driving behind stopped to help pull her out. That was the beginning of what resulted into a beautiful marriage. Lucille Musser, Edie Hart, and Juanita Adams; a wonderful result of a find under hay.
Mim and Ivan had the watermelon stand along N. 501; Ivan also built the Mobile Home Court there. Mim was very active in her faith, taking part in a special Christian activity in the Tennessee Mountains, and also S. Dakota, bringing good news of Jehovah’s Kingdom to Indian villages. She began her special Christian activities in 1983 and continued sharing her beautiful faith until May 11, at almost 103 years of age. Her words were “I love Jehovah and will keep on witnessing as long as I am able.” Mim also had a very close relationship with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, always ready to help others.
The family wants to say thank you for Mim’s tender and special care at the United Zion Home, “a gem on top of the hill.”
Mim is survived by her 3 daughters: Lucille “Lucy” Musser (Rodney), Edith Hart (Earl), and Juanita Adams; 4 grandchildren: Ivy Lynn Grunert, Lisa Oberholtzer, Scott Hart, and John Hart; 7 great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Ivan, and 4 siblings: Lee Brubaker, Eugene Brubaker, Mary Kuntz, and Annabelle Behney.

To Mim’s Family,
I was sorry to hear about your loss. I’m sure Mim was a special person and she brought joy to her friends and family. It was a treat to see her when she could join in for the meetings, and express her faith in Jehovah through her comments. I look forward to meeting her in person in the Paradise Earth.
Love from Cathy Schnerr

What a jewel in the treasury of Jehovah your Mim proved to be. She was a beautiful example of a faithful sister and a spiritual woman. Our tears of sadness will soon be tears of joy when we see Mim again. May it be our happy lot to join you in welcoming her back in the resurrection! Job 14:14,15
With our Christian love and our heartfelt sympathy, Jack and Hilary Davenport

Cherish the memories of her warmth, her gentle hands, her kind heart, and her wise words. A mother lives forever within our hearts.
During my wife’s 5 week stay I enjoyed your mothers company when my wife was resting. Doing the puzzles with her helped me pass time. Her and I talked quite a bit and she was so kind asking how my wife was progressing. Also it was great meeting the family.

It’s hard to loose a loved one let alone write a summation of a life so well lived in so few words. But this was not only beautiful and concise but teased up memories of who Mim was, her qualities and who she will be again. Thank You for sharing her with us. Christian Love and Sympathy, Michael and Valeta ❤️🚹
