Marjorie Jean Adams, age 97, of Port Washington, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, December 16, 2020. She was born on August 28, 1923, in North Fond du Lac, Wis., to Gustave and Irene Manthei. After high school, she earned her degree as a Registered Nurse from Mercy Hospital School of Nursing in Oshkosh. She worked at the former St. Alphonsus Hospital in Port Washington on Third South. On April 27, 1946, she married her high school sweetheart, Edward Clarence Adams, and together raised five daughters: Alice (the late Robert) Lippe, Margaret Adams, Nancy (Paul Clausing) Adams, Janet (the late Michael) Trzecinski, and Carol (Jeff) Fritsche. Their extended family includes eight grandchildren, and ten great-grandchildren. In addition to raising five daughters and working full-time, Marge loved to garden, knit, crochet, quilt, and sew, proudly sewing the wedding dresses for all five of her daughters. Her creative side also came out in her on-stage performances: she was Port Summer Theatre's Aunt Eller (Oklahoma!), Mae Peterson (Bye Bye Birdie), and Berthe (Pippin). Marge was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, her sister Alice and her brother Donald. Marge's family extends an invitation to friends and loved ones to join our family in celebrating the life of our mother, Marge Adams. This will be a casual gathering, where we can share stories and photographs of a life well-lived with warmth and laughter. Because she loved her flowers, please dress for a garden party- comfortable and bright! Marge's celebration of life will be held on Saturday, August 14, 2021 at Engine Room 102 Event Hall (102 E. Pier Street) in Port Washington from 1:pm till 4:00pm. Marge's family would like to thank the staff at Lincoln Village for the kindness and compassion shown to Marge in her final years.
