her health began to fail; and for many years, she was the Minister of Music for various churches in Tampa, Thonotosassa, St. Peters- burg and West Palm Beach. She also participated in the Florida Mass Choir, in her young adult years.
Pastor Adams was truly blessed by God to expound upon the Word of God with great power and au- thority sharing a prophetic word from the Lord. She was also a gifted musician and singer who could stir, ignite and lift the spirits of those listening in the services. While in Tampa, she also worked in the Hillsborough County School System and later when she and her husband moved to Rivera Beach, she worked at R. J. Hendley Chris- tian Academy.
Menyan was also a licensed cosmetologist, nail technician and had the gift of floral arranging.
