Mary Helen Adcox

Mary Helen Adcox, 62, of Russellville passed away Nov. 18 at her residence. She was born in Chicago, Illinois, on Sept. 1, 1961.

She enjoyed being at her home. Her daughter called her a homebody. Mary also enjoyed watching her favorite television programs, including the Hallmark and Cooking channels. She worked at Wendy’s in customer service.

Mary loved her daughters, her brothers, sister, nephews, nieces and all of her beautiful grandbabies. They could do no wrong, especially Jemma, the apple of her eye.

She is also survived by brothers Calvin “Roy” Adcox, Nicholas Adcox; and sister, Jennifer Crawley; six grandchildren; JC, Journey, Terrell Hughes, Briley, Lee and Bella Collins; one great-grandchild, Jemma Cummings.
