The family moved to Hiawatha, Kansas, where Lib attended school and graduated from Hiawatha High School class of 1941. Lib enrolled at Park College, just north of Kansas City, where she met Henry (Harry) Harrison Stiles. They were married December 1943. Harry was a Navy Pilot in the South Pacific. After the War the family which now included son Randolph (Randy), was based in North Africa at Port Lyautey, French Morocco. Harry was killed in a airplane accident on a flight from Port Lyautey to Tangier. Lib and her son returned to Kansas City, MO, where she began a career as a Medical Technician in the Trans World Airlines Medical Department, running the Laboratory. While at TWA Lib met and married Captain John O. Adams in 1963. This added a daughter to Lib's family, Denise J. Adams. Lib and John moved to San Mateo California and then to Del Mesa, Carmel in 1970. Their family continued to grow with Denise's marriage to James S. Johnson of Phoenix, AZ, and the birth of Stephanie, Jim, John, daughter Morgan, and Randy's son Zachary. Lib and John traveled extensively. John, after a long battle with cancer passed away in 1991, Lib's mother Bertha, a resident at the Manor, passed in 1992. Lib moved to the Carmel Valley Manor in 1993, and she was an active participant on Resident Board and a devoted member of the Half-Ass-Walkers, as well as other groups and volunteer activities at the Manor. Lib was an active member of the P.E.O. (Sisters Remembering History), Chapter PG, and a two time past president of the chapter. Lib had a great sense of humor and was proud of her membership in the High School marching band as a drummer, and often mentioned that she was the only Democrat at the Manor. Lib is survived by her son Randy Stiles, his son Zach, her daughter Denise and her husband James, and their four children, Stephanie, Jim, John Mark, and Morgan and 7 great- grandchildren.
