In loving memory of Mary Grace Adams, who was born on August 23, 1943, in Cincinnati, OH, and who embraced life with grace and warmth until her peaceful passing on December 24, 2025, at the age of 82. Mary Grace, lovingly known as "Grace," was the cherished daughter of the late Harold Edward and late Dorothy (nee Weichhand) Meade and was a radiant beacon of love and kindness. She leaves behind a legacy that will forever warm the hearts of all who knew her.

Grace's spirit lives on as she is reunited in heaven with her devoted husband of 44 years to the late Dean Adams. Together, they nurtured a loving home filled with warmth and laughter for their children: Julie (Bill) O'Neil, Mary Beth Collins, Jennifer (Casey) Knarr, Debbie (Jim) Schweitzer, and Anthony (Robin) Adams. She held deep pride for her grandchildren: Cody (Lauren) Knarr, Carson (Skylar Henderson) Knarr, Zachary Collins, Isabelle Schweitzer, Abigail Schweitzer, and Caitlin Knarr and her great grandchildren: Jillian Jewell, Hudson Jewell, Trinity Cook, Meava Cook, who brought her immeasurable joy and fulfillment. Grace also shared a bond with her dear siblings, the late Robert and late Richard Meade. Grace will forever hold a special place in the hearts of her family, and her memory will live on through stories filled with love and laughter.

A steadfast pillar of faith, Grace was super catholic and devoted herself to her beliefs and found solace within the community of St. Bernard Church. Grace devoted a significant part of her life to service and nurturing, first as a devoted stay-at-home mother to her children, and later at the Church Rectory at St. Bernard Church, where she served faithfully for 34 years. Her role at church allowed her to serve others, enhancing her connection to God and her beloved church community. Grace's love for singing and dancing filled many gatherings with warmth, yet her greatest passion was the time spent with her family. The stories shared in their presence were filled with joy, laughter, and love, painting a beautiful tapestry of cherished moments.

In honor of Grace's life, a visitation will be held at Frederick Funeral Home on Friday, January 2, 2026, from 8:00 AM to 9:45 AM. Following the visitation, a Mass of Christian Burial will take place at St. Bernard Church, located at 7130 Harrison Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45247, at 10:30 AM. Friends and family are invited to come together to pay their respects and celebrate a life so richly lived. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to St. Bernard Church, reflecting Grace's enduring spirit and dedication to her faith community. Grace's memory will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of her family and all who had the honor of knowing her.
