Tina "Samantha" Marie Adams

Tina “Samantha” Marie Adams, 54 of Gulfport, passed away at St. Mary’s Hospital in Amsterdam, NY. She was born on July 27, 1970 in Biloxi, MS.

Tina held a love for adventure and exploration and found her peace of the road during her career as a Truck Driver. She took immense pride in her work, and was always on the go, leaving her final job with Western Express, where she drove happily for years.

Her personality reflected her passions. Bright and colorful, she was often found with a smile on her face, and a song leaving her lips. Her joy of singing in something she was known for, and her voice carried far and wide for the pleasure of anyone who was able to hear it.

Her other passions included crochet and sports, being an avid 49ers fan, which she enjoyed flaunting to all her southern family. Tina never left a moment dull or missed an opportunity for celebration. Her upbeat and loving soul will be missed by all all.

Tina is survived by her children, Gerald, Wayne, Angel, and Jeremiah; partner, Diane; former spouses James; her grandchildren, and many loving nieces and nephews. She is post deceased by her mother, Sally Wallace (Journee’) and predeceased by her mother Schawanda Jefferson and father Gary Adams; siblings, Lisa Adams, Tonya Ross, Janice Adams, Bethany Bateman, Jeremiah Adams, Aaron Adams, Josh Adams, Leshanda Hayward, Eltroyce Tyeast Brooks, and Riddell Hayward.
