Dr. C. Vincent Adams
On September 9, 2021, Clement Vincent Adams, DDS, passed away quietly at his home in Maryland, USA, at the age of 82. He was the second of seven children born to Peter E. and Precious M. (Hodge) Adams, deceased of Flowers Avenue, Rey Hill, all of whom spent their formative years in Anguilla.
He is the brother of the late Nurse E. Angela Adams, Atty Peter M. Adams of New York, Lena Adams Lloyd of George Hill, Pamela Adams Evans of England, Ermine Adams Plotkin of New Jersey and Jasmine Adams Buisseret of Canada.
The scouting photo included here from 1956 (courtesy of Sandra Fahie) is a nice throw-back showing Dr. Adams (Vincent, or “Blue”, as he was known by many during his years growing up in Anguilla) with many familiar faces.
He attended Valley Secondary School and St. Kitts-Nevis Grammar (Higher) School, before entering college in the US. He has been a practicing dentist (orthodontist) in Washington DC for 46 years. He and his wife Hester of 61 years have four sons: Clement (also an orthodontist), Creighton and Corliss (attorneys) and Daniel (marketing consultant); and five grand children.
Services will be held on September 25, at Trinity Episcopal Church in DC where Dr. Adams served as Senior Warden. A memorial service will be arranged in Anguilla at a later date, where his many friends and fond relatives from all branches can pay their final respects. His cousins include the Huntes and the Walter/ Olive Hodge and Vanier/Molly Hodge and Mena/Lincoln Lewis branches of East End and the Owens of North Hill and the Simpsons of Sachasses. He opened up his home to all family. Cousin Wren Amie Hunte assisted the family in providing care in his last days and Ethne Hodge Richardson visited to help. He was very much a glue for all the family and you can say had a family fan club.
Vincent was a very kind, devout and beloved person who provided warm and wise counsel to many, was well respected in his profession, church and community, and had a great sense of humor. He will be sorely missed.
The Family expresses thanks for all the condolences and expressions received.
