Frances Adams
Glastonbury -- Frances Gorski Adams, 85, of Glastonbury passed away peacefully Nov. 26, 2022. Born on Sept. 23, 1937, she was raised in Freeland, by her loving par- ents, Frank and Agnes Gorski. Her family emigrated from Wies-Kurejewka, Poland, with several family members settling in the coal mining town of Freeland. On her side, Agnes Fisher family came from Krakow, Poland, also having several family members settling in Freeland.
Frances attended local schools and graduated from West Philadelphia Catholic High School in June 1955. She and her friends would go to Dick Bandstand every day after school. There she showed off her great dancing skills with dances like the jitterbug and the stroll. Stories from those days would become a favorite memory to her daughters as they learned those dances in the kitchen growing up with Mom and Dad. From her simple childhood in coal country, Fran grew into a sophisticated and world-wise woman. Among her many talents, she was an incredible gourmet cook who loved to entertain grandly in the true 1950s style.
Her greatest joy in life was raising her five children, Karen, Kimberly, Kathleen, Jeffrey and Jennifer with her former husband, Gene Adams, in New London and then continuing the joy of having nine grand- children and a great-grandson. Her dear brother, Tom, was a great support for his sister since early childhood when they would walk to school together every day. He has stood by her every day since.
Frances went on to become an executive legal secretary in Hartford for many years while residing in Glastonbury. Once she retired, she enjoyed being involved in activities at the Glastonbury Community Center, especially enjoying the current events group.
Calling hours will be from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 1, at the Mulryan Funeral home, 725 Hebron Ave. in Glastonbury. Donations in her memory may be made to the Glastonbury Community Center. For online condolences please visit www.mulryanfh. com.
