She grew up in East Aurora, N.Y., before moving to Augusta in 1960. She was a licensed practical nurse for many years and loved her work with newborn babies and later family practice offices. Another life experience included time as a private chef for a Maine summer resident, with homes in New York City and Florida. She also spent time working as a nurse in Chicago. Brenda was predeceased by her parents, David and Jan Adams. She is survived by her son, G. Andrew Yeaton and his wife, Pam, and his four children of Farmington; sisters Bonnie Adams Randall and her husband, Bob, of Brewer and Marcia Adams of Palm City, Fla.; a brother, Donald J. Adams and his wife, Betty, of Fairfield; and two nieces and four nephews. A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 20, at Penney Memorial United Baptist Church, Grove Street in Augusta. Private interment will occur at a later date in North Whitefield at Highland Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, please make donations in her memory to the American Cancer Society, P.O.
