Anna Mary Adamson, age 90, died peacefully Thursday, January 22, 2015 at her home in Logandale, Nevada. She was born September 22, 1924 in Pierre, South Dakota to Franklin Rusk and Helen Ziba Osmun Blasingame.

Mary grew up on a ranch outside of Eagle Butte, South Dakota. She was known as "Sparky" to all of her friends there.

Later on, about the time that Nancy was born, they relocated to Echo Bay and then Overton.

She was a member of the Calvary Community Church, where she served in a variety of different positions over the years, including Deaconess, prayer chain coordinator and Sunday School Teacher. She volunteered many hours at the Senior Center and was a docent for the Lost City Museum. She will be remembered for her love and kindness to family and friends, and for her feisty personality.
