Susan McAdams Starr

Susan “Mimi” McAdams Starr, 75, entered her heavenly home surrounded by her loved ones on Friday, July 7, 2023. She was born in Burlington, North Carolina, October 28, 1947 to Charles Willis and Mildred Leonard McAdams. She graduated from college with a degree in English. She served as a social worker for the state of North Carolina in Alamance County retiring after dedicating 28 years of her life. Additionally, she worked as a Certified Ophthalmic Assistant in various practices. She was preceded in death by both of her parents as well as her brother Charles “Chuck” McAdams II and her precious dog Zac “Mayor Zac.” 

Susan is survived by her sister, Cindy Overman and husband, Cliff of North Myrtle Beach, SC; her two daughters, Dawn Williams and husband, Keith of Landrum, SC, and Dana Moore and husband, Jeremy of Holly Springs, NC; and her four grandchildren, Kayleigh, McKenzie and Christian Williams and Cooper Moore; her niece, Kelly Mathews and husband Scott of North Myrtle Beach, SC along with her great niece Amelia Mathews; and her nephew Wesley Troxler.

To know, Susan was to love her. She had the most beautiful spirit, spunky soul and her quirky jokes will continue to make our hearts smile here.  She enjoyed breakfast, especially her coffee and reading a good book. She loved the beach, shagging, all things sweet and an occasional glass of wine. Most of all, she loved her family and friends.

Susan was a Christian woman who believed in eternal life, and we are assured that we will join her again.

A private celebration of life will be held at a later date.

If you choose to honor her memory, dedicate an act of kindness or a pay it forward to someone as a reflection of those who helped her throughout her life.
