MRS. MARY LOU INGRAM
A Home Going Celebration for Mrs. Mary Lou Ingram will be held on Saturday, December 19, 2020, at 1:00 p.m. at Rest Haven Memo- rial Park Cemetery, 4615 E. Hanna Avenue, Tampa, Florida, with Dr. Sam Maxwell, Senior Teaching Pastor of First Baptist Church of Progress Village, Officiating.
Mrs. Mary Lou Ingram began her earthly mission on July 5, 1937, in Brooksville, Florida. Her parents Samuel Brown, Sr., and Ruby Ola Mae Brown reared her in a loving home along with what would eventually be nine siblings.
“Mary Lou” as she was affec- tionately called, was taught to love God, her family, herself and oth- ers. Her life reflected these teach- ings and at an early age she accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior. She remained faithful to this call serving in the choir at First Baptist Church of Progress Village until her health would not permit.
On November 11, 1956, she was united in matrimony to the love of her life, Walter Ingram. To- gether they enjoyed life and each other. They shared a special love for flowers and gardening, evident by the immaculate landscaping
MR. JOSE ANGEL ADAMS
A Home Going Celebration will be held for Mr. Jose Angel Adams on Saturday, December 19th, 2020, at 10 a.m. at Wilson Funeral Home, 3000 N. 29th Street Tampa, Florida. Interment will follow in Rose Hill Cemetery.
Jose Angel Adams, was born September 28, 1973, to Martha Nunez and Lucian K. Adams, in New York City. Jose was welcomed and a special blessing as his pater- nal grandmother passed the same month. Jose was a delight and joy to his 3 older siblings. He was an even tempered and easy to handle baby.
In 1978, his family relocated to Hancock Park (Los Angeles), CA, where he attended elementary school before re-locating to Long Beach, CA in 1981, at which time he began his formal education in the Long Beach Unified School District (LBUSD).
Jose was a member of Christ Second Baptist Church in Long Beach, CA, under the late Pastor Herman Gore, Sr. He enjoyed serv- ices and the music. He had a strong conviction and loved God and peo- ple.
In the early 1980s, his family moved to Tampa, Florida, where he continued his education and made new friends, some of which would be life long.
Jose enjoyed scary movies, comedy, Youtube, as well as cur- rent events. He enjoyed traveling and would visit friends and go to NYC and other cities. He was very knowledgeable and enjoyed shar- ing, especially with his sister. He was multi-talented and was never afraid to expound his knowledge. He loved music which was no sur- prise as he was an offspring of mu- sical royalty.
He played a major role in men- toring his nieces and nephews. He also served as a surrogate father as well. He loved children, animals (especially the family dogs) who he spoiled rotten! He was a key helper and could be counted on to listen and give sage advice.
On December 14, 2020, he was called to his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. “Well done thou good and faithful Servant.”
We are greatly comforted that he has earned his wings. He was preceded in death by: his father, Lucian Adams.
Mr. Adams is survived by: his beloved and dear mother, Martha Nunez; siblings, Ajmal Ali, Lucian, Jr., Carlos, Ricky, Turhan Victor, Valentino, Marcel, Joycelyn and Lucian Tyrone Adams; two uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, extended family and a host of friends.
There will be a viewing on Fri- day, December 18, 2020, at Wilson Funeral Home from 3:00 – 8:00 p.m. Due to the current CDC re- strictions, we are asking that you use the visitation as an opportunity to pay your final respect. For your convenience and safety, we have ex- tended our visitation hours.
