Andrea Isaac Adams, 36, of Sheridan, Ark., was born on Jan. 5, 1973 in Russellville, Ark. She passed away on Sunday, May 10, 2009 surrounded by her family.

As an English teacher at Sheridan Middle School, Andrea was a mentor and inspiration to many. Students gravitated to her nurturing spirit as she invoked in them a desire to reach their full potential. She had been active in the community, including the Sheridan Rotary Club, Grant County United Way and Timberfest Committee, and had served as a volunteer with the Keeping the Faith Women¹s Shelter. She was also an active member of First United Methodist Church in Sheridan. Besides her fondness of literature, Andrea also loved to put pen to paper and was a regular writer for The Sheridan Headlight. Prior to her teaching position, Andrea brought joy to the Sheridan Nursing & Rehab Center as the social services director for the many patients there.

By far, her favorite role, and one in which she excelled to the fullest, was as a mother to three beautiful daughters. In each of them Andrea's legacy continues. An unbound and overflowing spirit in the first, an absolute pureness of heart in the second, and an ageless wisdom in the third. Andrea seized her moment and lived her life to the fullest with a smile, spontaneity and courage.

She is survived by her husband of 15 years: Laith Adams of Sheridan; and three daughters: Anna, Claire and Vivian Adams, of the home. She is also survived by her mother and stepfather: Zelda and Russell Riley of the Landmark Community; father and stepmother: Wayne and Olena Isaac of Cabot; sister and brother-in-law: Dina and Walter Wills of the East End Community; four nieces; two nephews; a loving and supporting family of in-laws; her paternal grandparents: J.O. and Bernetta Isaac of Cabot; her maternal grandmother: Lorrane Gunter of Dexter, New York; and a host of other family and friends.

Andrea was preceded to her heavenly home by her beloved little sister: Kara Joy Isaac; grandfather: Alva Baker; and great-grandmother: Myrtle McCormick.

A memorial service celebrating her life will be held on Thursday, May 14 at 4:30 p.m. in First United Methodist Church in Sheridan. The Rev. Bruce Bennett will be officiating the service to include reflection and the sharing of memories followed by an open fellowship in the church¹s Family Life Center.

Honorary pallbearers will be Randy Martin, Chris Owen, Walter Wills, Leif Henry, Donald Tubbs, Don Nixon and Bobby Adams. Andrea has requested her body be cremated.

Flowers may be sent to First United Methodist Church or donations may be made to Peoples Bank for a future memorial in Andrea¹s name.
