Willow Hope Eloise Adams

Willow Hope Eloise Adams was a sweet and special 6-year-old girl who went to heaven on May 24, 2026, all of a sudden at her home. She was born on July 5, 2019, in Fort Stewart, Georgia. Her mommy and daddy are Richard "Ricky" and Twila, and she had a big sister named Kora who called her "Sissy" because saying Willow was tricky. Even her school friends called her Sissy!

Willow had some really big challenges because she was born with something called Cerebral Palsy after a brain bleed when she was a baby. She couldn't talk like other kids, but she sure knew how to tell everyone what she wanted or didn’t want! Sometimes, she was a little cheeky and pretended to be asleep to skip therapy or things she didn’t feel like doing.

She had shiny blond hair and a smile that made everyone happy. When she saw her favorite people, she would give them a big, bright smile that made them feel very special. Willow loved watching Disney movies, especially Toy Story. When the song "You Got a Friend in Me" played, she would dance right away! Her mommy would sing "You Are My Sunshine" to help her feel brave when things were scary. She also loved her soft bunny named Bun Bun who was always with her. Willow liked playing outside too, feeling the warm sun and the wind, and swinging high in her swing.

Willow just finished first grade at Caney Valley Elementary in Caney, Kansas, where everyone loved her very much.

She leaves behind her mommy and daddy, Ricky and Twila Adams, her siblings Kora, Ila, and Lincoln, Grandma Maria and Great Grandma Marsha Adams, from her dad’s side, Grandpa Patrick and Grandma Tammy Cassidy from her mom’s side, lots of aunts, uncles, cousins, and her special friends from school. She is now with her Grandpa Peter Adams, Great Grandpas Stuart Adams and Dan Root, and Grandma Mary Ellen Cassidy, who went before her.

Everyone will have a special time to remember and celebrate Willow’s life on Friday, June 5, 2026, at 3pm Tyro Christian Church 301 Market St.  in Tyro, Kansas. Services have been entrusted to Ford-Wulf-Bruns Chapel in Coffeyville.  In lieu of flowers the family request memorial contributions be made to the chapel to help defray expenses. If you want to say something nice, share your memories or view the live streaming of her service, you can visit www.fordwulfbrunschapel.com.

We remember that children are a precious gift from God. Willow was very special and will be loved forever.
