Ouida Karan Adams

Ouida Karan Adams, 82 of Zanesville, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on May 6, 2024 at The Oaks at Northpointe.

Karan was born September 2, 1941, in Gallipolis, Ohio. The daughter of the late Clarence Hoffman and Betty J. (Dwight) Bowers.

Karan owned Unique and Catchie Crafts in Dresden for eleven years. She also worked in the gift shop at Cracker Barrel, and was a volunteer at the Genesis Hospital. She was a member of the Christian Woman’s Club in Zanesville, and attended the Cornerstone Full Gospel Church in Duncan Falls. Karan loved serving the Lord. She loved everyone and life; but she was ready to see God, Jesus, and family and friends of which most have passed.

Karan loved her children; they were so special to her. Don’t grieve boys as I am in a much better place with my Lord and Savior. I will be waiting for you! See you again! Someday!

Karan’s goal in life was to be a good Christian, good wife, a good mother, plus a good friend. Please laugh at life as laughter was her life.
