MARY ELLEN ADAMS -INDIAN HARBOUR BEACH - Mary Ellen Adams, 75, died at home surrounded by family on Thursday, December 4, 2008. Born Mary Ellen Meuser on August 27, 1933 in Milford, CT, she came to Brevard County in 1960.

She leaves behind an extended family that will miss her greatly, including her sister, Joan Dwyer of Phoenix, AZ; brothers, Joe Meuser of Stratford, CT and John Meuser of Milford, CT; her children, Sherrill Bullock (Thane), Larry Adams, Mike Adams (Sherry), Ronnie Adams (Diane), Jerry Adams, Bob Adams (Tara), and Kathy Turner; grandchildren, Shauna LaPointe (Tree), Joshua Bullock, Daniel Adams, Robbie Turner, Gabriel Adams, Brennan and Brittany Baker, Ariana Lanahan, Thomas and Christopher Starling; and great-granddaughter, Kiley Zaagman.
