Martha Ileta Adams (Williams), 86, of Garrison, TX, passed away on Sunday, January 12, 2025, in Nacogdoches, TX
Ileta Adams was born on September 27, 1938, in Cooper, Texas to Marvin and Juanita Williams. While in college she met the love of her life, Waynon Adams, and they married on December 27, 1958. After graduating, she went to beauty school so she could become a beauty instructor, making others look and feel their best. Ileta and Waynon opened their own barber and beauty salon in Timpson, Texas until they retired. They spent 44 wonderful years together.
Ileta began farming and raising cattle and her favorite part of it was naming all her cattle. She attended First Assembly of God in Center, Texas for many years and loved being a member of her church. She was selfless, kind, fun, free spirit and her beautiful soul will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Ileta is survived by her sisters, Shirley Cunningham of Wichita Falls, TX and Peggy Maddux, and husband, Larry, of Mineola, TX along with many nieces and nephews.
She is preceded in death by her husband, Waynon Adams, parents Marvin Odie and Juanita Phillips Williams, and brothers Johnny Williams, Don Williams, and sister Ruby Jones.
