Sara Welbron Adams, 90, loving homemaker and faithful member of First Baptist Church, passed away on December 19, 2023. Born March 7, 1933, daughter of the late Vester and Minnie Brownlee Welbron of DeKalb County, GA. Sara grew up in Dekalb County and after high school, she started working at Belk’s in downtown Atlanta. She met a coworker in the shoe department there by the name of Randall Adams. They soon started dating. However, during the 1950’s, the draft began and Randall signed up for the Air Force. After Randall became a pilot, the couple wanted to get married. He was able to fly his plane to Moody Air Force Base and Sara was able to drive down from Atlanta and they were married at First United Methodist Church in Valdosta. After Randall got out of the Air Force, the Adams returned to Atlanta where he took a job at C&S Bank, (now Bank of America). In 1957, C&S transferred Randall to Valdosta, and the Adams have lived here ever since. Sara was a devoted homemaker, caring for her husband and the kids. She also enjoyed playing Bridge with friends and was a long-time member of First Baptist Church.
