Mary Adams, a well-known member of the community in Aberdour, has died.
Born in Montrose in 1922, she was brought up in Stonehaven and attended Mackie Academy where she was class dux for most of her time there.
After leaving school she worked in a solicitor’s office until 1943 when she volunteered for war service.
She was selected for the Royal Corps of Signals and had the distinction of being chosen to work as an interceptor on a Bletchley Park outstation, one of the most important units in the war effort.
Mrs Adams received a medal from the government for her wartime service earlier this year.
On leaving the forces she qualified as a radiographer and worked at Perth Royal Infirmary.
In 1950, she married Bob and went with him to the Gold Coast, now Ghana.
On the couple’s return to Scotland she concentrated on bringing up their family, but when the children reached school age she volunteered for the Citizens Advice Bureau.
In Aberdour she contributed to the community in many ways, including a spell as president of the tennis club and chairman of the pier and harbour committee.
Mrs Adams also drove for the Society for the Blind and was an active member of Aberdour Golf Club.
She spent the last two years in Henderson House nursing home in Dalgety Bay.
She is survived by her husband Bob, her children Bob, David and Lorna, and by her grandchildren Claire, Ross, Fiona, Jack and Megan.
