Adams, 79 SALISBURY - Sadly on Friday, Jan. 29, 2016, Janice Rogers Adams went to be with her Lord on after a short illness. Born on Apr. 15, 1936 she was the daughter of the late Carleton Degree Rogers and Gladys Porter (Betty) Rogers. Mrs. Adams grew up in Randolph, Vermont where she graduated HS and received the Lucille Grant Award for Music. She then attended Junior college before moving from VT to Salisbury, where she married and started her family. In 1968 she began working at WBOC as a receptionist and continued there for 18 years. In 1991 she became a Master Gardner and began writing gardening columns for the Maryland Gardner, Salisbury Advertiser and the Daily Times. Her wonderful personality then landed her as a host for WBOC/WLVW's radio garden program: "Planting for pleasure with Jan." She was a very active member of St. Peter's Episcopal Church as a lector, choir member as well as maintaining the gardens. She was a member of the Four Seasons Federated Gardener Club and the Maryland Master Gardener, entering many flower shows where her zeal won her several Blue Ribbons. She was also a lifetime member of the VFW Auxiliary Post 194. She is survived by her loving husband of 59 years, Howard Adams, Jr.; a daughter, Cynthia Adams McGrath and her husband, Kenneth of Cambridge; sons, Howard Emerson Adams and Tracy Aaron Adams both of Salisbury; grandchildren, Kimberly Hanson, David Aaron Walters, Tina Lynn Adams and Keith Carleton Adams; great grandchildren, Brianna Horton and Rian Hanson; brothers and sisters, Carlene R.
