Larry Elwin Adams' Obituary
Larry Elwin Adams, age 75, of Springdale, Arkansas, passed away on February 19, 2026. He was born on April 2, 1950, in Fayetteville, Arkansas, to Mary and Elvin Adams.
Larry was a devoted husband, father, brother, and friend whose life was rooted in love for his family and community. He worked as an electrician with D&C Electric, where he was known for his strong work ethic, reliability, and willingness to lend a helping hand.
He shared a lifelong love with his wife, Carol Tomlinson Adams, and took great pride in his daughters, Katey and Sally Adams. He is also remembered with love alongside his children Casey and Kally Adams, who preceded him in death.
Larry cherished time spent with his extended family — especially at reunions, potlucks, and decoration days — where his steady presence and warm spirit brought people together. He was an avid Razorback fan and rarely missed an opportunity to cheer on his team.
He is survived by his loving wife, Carol; daughters Katey and Sally; sister Melva Ball; brother Gary Adams; and many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends who will miss him dearly.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Mary and Elvin Adams, and his children Casey and Kally Adams.
Larry will be remembered for the values he carried throughout his life — strength, love, and joy — and for the deep care he showed to those around him.
Visitation will be 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm Wednesday February 25, 2026 at Moore’s Chapel in Fayetteville.
