Burial will follow in Welcome Cemetery under the direction of Jeane’s Funeral Service. A visitation will be held at the church from 5:00 to 10:00 p.m. on Thursday, August 5th. Carol was born April 19, 1946, in Mariemont, Ohio and went to be with her Lord on August 1, 2021, in Alexandria, LA at the age of 75. In 1986, the Adams family moved to Simpson where Reverend Terry Lee Adams Sr. was the pastor of the Simpson Church of God. Carol had a servant’s heart for Children’s Ministry and was the Children’s Director at the church. In 1987, “Ma Carol’s” Day Care was started out of that ministry. “Ma Carol” soon became the name that everyone knew. Carol kept so many children in their home, through the day care, that you could say she raised half of Simpson. The children all loved coming to Ma Carol and Paw Paw Preachies house so much that some did not want to leave when it was time and said they were going to live with them now. You could bet that at least three to four days a week they had at least one child spending the night with them. Carol instilled the love of God into each and every child that she took care of. Over the years she has been an active member in many organizations. She was currently a member of the following local parish organizations: Louisiana Ministerial Alliance (LAMA), Simpson PTO, Simpson Volunteer Fire Department, Vernon Parish Fire Chaplains, Louisiana Fire Chaplain’s Network, International Federation of Fire Chaplains, and Central Louisiana Veterans Cemetery (CLVC). She has also held positions on boards at the state level of the Louisiana Assembly of the Church of God (Anderson, IN) as well as within her local church at Simpson Church of God. Carol was always passionate and gave everything she had to every aspect of each organization. With all that being said, her greatest passion was being a servant for Christ. She showed the love of Christ to everyone she encountered, no matter the circumstances or who you were. She never met a stranger. Carol was preceded in death by her husband, Reverend Terry Lee Adams Sr; son, Scott Avery Adams; parents, Woodrow and Georgia (Abner) [daughter of Charles Benjamin & Rachel Allen Abner] Million; brothers, Garland and Dwayne Million; and sister, Shirley Stephens. Those left to cherish her memory are her two sons, TJ Adams and wife Sherry (Tioga, LA) and John Christian Adams and wife Gena (Simpson, LA); four grandchildren, Bryce Adams and wife Alisha, Blaize Adams, Bryanna Adams, and Drew Adams; three great grandchildren, Bentley, Kayden, and Hudson (her little side kick) Adams; and one brother, Danny Million (Middletown, OH). Pallbearers will be Bryce Adams, Blaize Adams, Drew Adams, Chase Stuckey, Kade Martin, and Hunter James.

Ainsworth, Ruth Evelyn Peters
Ruth Evelyn (Peters) Ainsworth, 98 November 11, 2023 this is the day of the passing of Ruth Evelyn (Peters) Ainsworth. She was the daughter of the late William and Flora (Blake) Peters. Ruth was born near the Springhill Community, Decatur County, Indiana on August 30, 1925. Her start in education was at the one room school house of Mechanicsburg on Base Road. Her next 11 years were at New Point where she graduated in the 1943 class of 17 students. She was the last survivor. In 1943, WWII was raging. Ruth has set her goal of becoming a Nurse when she was 13. She had called a Nursing School at St. Mary’s in Huntington, West Virginia in 1941 to ask about the curriculum. The next fall the Principal James Clements arranged for her to have 2 classes that she needed. She took them on a one on one basis. In July 1943 the Bolton Act was passed. It covered tuition, uniforms, room and board for recruits into the Nursing programs that had been depleted by nurses leaving to enter the Military. Ruth was the first person from Decatur County who was called to enter that program, CADET NURSE CORP. which began September 1943. This was a 3 year Diploma Program for Registered Nurses. Their obligation was to finish and stay in Nursing for 5 years or go into the Military if needed. The War was over in August 1945. Ruth was not ready for graduation so she stayed on. When asked if she went to war, her answer was always, “I didn’t go, the Japanese heard that I was coming and they surrendered.” She held positions in Florida for 3 years and returned to Indiana where she married Franklin David Ainsworth in 1950. She was the first Industrial Nurse for Bohn Aluminum and Brass during their transition from Detroit to Greensburg. She also worked at the Decatur County Memorial Hospital. In 1959, Ruth and her family which now included a son and daughter moved to Gainesville, Florida and resided there for the next 43 years. Ruth held a number of positions in nursing but most notable was 15 1/2 years with UPJOHN Healthcare Services. She was administrator of the Home Health Agency and is credited under the Auspices of the UPJOHN Co. as bringing Home Care to a 16 county area of North Central Florida. She retired when the company was sold. She was active in community organizations and an active member of the Wesley United Methodist Church. She was a charter member of the Gainesville Federated Republican Women’s Club. Was a Past President and delegate to a National Convention. In the year of 2002 she resided in Colorado Springs, Co with her son Jon and his family. In 2003, she moved to Greensburg and lived at September Place for 15 years. While there, she initiated a Chapter of the Red Hats Society and was Queen for 10 years. She’s been a member of the Greensburg Republican Women’s Club since her residence here. She also has been a member of the National Federation of Republican Women for 43 years. In September, 2015 Ruth was included along with daughter Jo Ellen Janvrin, on the first ALL female Honor Flight from Cincinnati to Washington for a day trip. Only recently has the Cadet Nurse Corp. been included with the Military as no long term benefits were included in the Bolton Act in 1943. Ruth has always been interested in History, Politics and local government. Ruth has written her personal history including from the depression as a child to her retirement. She has lived at Aspen Place since March 2018. Survivors include: Son, Major (Retired) Jon (Elaine) Ainsworth of Colorado Springs, Co.; Daughter, Jo Ellen (Steven) Janvrin of Hampton, NH; Granddaughters, Faye Ainsworth, Lindsay (Jesse) Hatfield, Dr. Rachael Ainsworth and Hillary Janvrin; Great Grandsons, Alexander Good, Logan Hatfield and Bryson Hatfield; and several nieces and nephews.
