A real southern lady. I enjoyed many fun times with Theadys while married to Dee. She had great family ideals, and always enjoyed having large family dinners. RIP Until we meet again!!!

When I began working for the Liveoak Public Library in 1988, formely CEL library, I was assigned to the bookmobile dept. where I met an amazing woman, Theadys Adams. She took me under her wings and taught me, not only everything she knew about the Bookmobile, but about life in general. Theadys loved her family and was extremely proud of her children, whom she talked about incessantly. To DeeDee, Tommie and Danny, I feel like I know you, I send you my condolences. May God turn his face toward you and give you peace. Sincerely, Joyce Patterson.

I came to the Library system in 1981 and worked in the Talking Books Dept. right next to the Bookmobile. I had never ridden on a Bookmobile so Theadys offered to take me on an adventure. And it certainly was! Dirt roads and ribs at Mammie's Kitchen! What a great day!!! She will be dearly missed by her old Library Family.
