Mrs. Anita Lynn (Wolfe) Adams

Anita Lynn Wolfe Adams, age 76, of Jefferson, Georgia, passed away on Friday, December 26, 2025. Born on December 31, 1948, in Bethesda, Maryland, to the late John Arthur Wolfe and Hazel Ward Bissett, she grew up in Wheaton, Maryland, and touched the lives of many as a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend.

Anita was the beloved wife of the late Thomas ‘Tommy’ Herbert Adams, with whom she shared 22 wonderful years of marriage. She was the dear sister of the late Dixie Lee Perry and her late husband, Thomas Perry, and was predeceased by her grandson, Noah Wheeler, with whom she is now tenderly reunited, cradling him in her arms.

She is lovingly survived by her two daughters, Lauri-Ann McHugh and her husband, Daniel Vincent McHugh of Athens, Georgia, and Wendy Lynn Wheeler and her husband, Grant Andrew Wheeler of Damascus, Maryland; her cherished grandchildren, Jessica Kai McHugh Vasquez and her husband, Jeremy, and Brittney Danyelle Wurdeman and her husband, Justin; and her adored great-grandchildren, Kais, Alaric, and Eden Ray Vasquez McHugh, and Landon Wurdeman. Also surviving her are her children by marriage, Thomas Irving Adams and Sabrina Williams, along with her treasured granddaughters, April Adams, Larkin Williams, and Holly Williams.

Anita was a proud aunt to her late nephew, John Dennis, whose family was a constant source of love and support; she is survived by his wife, Jennine Dennis; their children, Patricia ‘Tricia’ Snowden and her husband, Matthew Snowden, and Billy Dennis; and Tricia’s children, Hailey and Gavin Snowden. She is also survived by her late husband’s sister and dear friend, Susan White, and her husband, Steve; her cousin, Sandra Wagner; and many other loving cousins and extended family. Anita also shared her heart with her beloved dog-daughter, Biscuit, who brought her immense joy, companionship, and comfort.

Known for her warmth, compassion, and quiet strength, she was lovingly called “Nana” by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Prior to her brief time in Jefferson, Georgia, Anita called Georgetown, Delaware, and Maryland home. A 1966 graduate of Northwood High School, she was a dedicated medical professional who spent many years caring for children in the pediatric unit at Shady Grove Adventist Hospital before continuing her work in professional development, where she supported, trained, and inspired countless colleagues.

Anita had a lifelong love of music, delighting in singing and playing the ukulele. She was a dedicated Girl Scout leader, loved riding motorcycles with her late husband, cheering for the Washington Redskins, and enjoyed movies, television, and crocheting.

In accordance with her wishes, Anita was cremated. The family will hold a service at the Delaware Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Millsboro, Delaware, at a later date, where she will be laid to rest beside her beloved husband, Tommy.

In lieu of flowers, the family encourages donations to support children’s ARFID research and family services, with specific details to follow, or to a charity of your choice.
