Mertie Marie Parrish Adams left this earthly home on February 3, 2021 after living a very full life. Born in Lufkin, Texas on October 9,1931, Marie was the oldest of four girls and her baby sister, Kay, always said Marie was their daddy’s favorite. In fact, adults often loved Marie, and it was Ruth Adams who went out of her way to make sure that Marie and Roy stayed in contact after meeting at a friend’s wedding. Ruth Adams picked up Marie in her new car and drove straight to the filling station where Roy worked with his brother. It must have worked because Marie married Roy C. Adams in 1950 and together raised Becky Kay Adams Whiting (Joe Whiting) and David G. Adams (Debbie Havard Adams). During the oilfield boom of the 6o’s, Marie and Roy settled in Morgan City where Marie worked as a secretary in the oilfield industry.
