Her greatest love were her children and grandchildren. Her grandchildren called her Ahma. Most of Shu Mei's life was spent being a homemaker. Shu Mei was the kindest person you will ever meet. You couldn't leave her house without her cooking something for you or her sending you home with chocolate. She is proceeded in death by her husband, Joe Adams, her parents and her brothers. Shu Mei is survived by her daughter, Kathy Gradnigo, son, Robin Cook (Megan); grandchildren: Trey Gradnigo, Alli Gradnigo, Ella Cook and Nicholas Cook; step-grandchildren: Payton, Claire and Harper Ginter; stepchildren: John Calvin Adams and family, and Joey Adams and family; step-grandchildren: Natasha Adams and family, Natalie Adams and family, Lauren Adams Caddel and family and Cori Adams Sheets and family; "other daughters": Connie Judd-Sullivan, Brandi Cook, Jenny Davis and Dana Buckles-Hunn; "other sons”: Edward Chatman and Jeff Trujillo.
