Susan Marie Adam

Susan Marie Adam, 67, of Lawton, Oklahoma, passed away peacefully on November 11, 2025

Born on August 15, 1958, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Susan was the beloved daughter of Pete Wichryk and Marlene Wichryk (Schwartz). She grew up surrounded by family and faith, values that guided her throughout her life.

Susan shared 27 wonderful years of marriage with her husband, Scott Adam, building a home filled with love, laughter, and devotion. Their three children: Brea (A.J.) Selby, Kayla Zavala, and Kyle (Chantal) Adam filled her heart with love and joy. Susan’s greatest joy was her family, especially her seven cherished grandchildren, who brought her endless pride and happiness. 

Susan lived a life of service and compassion. She volunteered at the Blessed Sacrament Thrift Shop, where she gave her time generously to help others in need. She also devoted herself to the Family Readiness Group at Army installations in Texas, Hawaii, and Oklahoma, supporting military families with strength and kindness.

Beyond her service, Susan found joy in crafting and baking. She loved making leis, creating diamond art, knitting, and collecting memorabilia. These hobbies reflected her thoughtful spirit and her ability to find beauty in both tradition and everyday life. Her handmade creations and treasured collections will remain lasting reminders of her warmth and artistry. Her cheesecakes and baked goods were known to be a staple at every gathering.

Those who knew Susan will remember her for her unwavering dedication to family, her warm spirit, her selfless commitment to the community, and taking care of Soldiers and their families. Her legacy of love and service will live on in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her. 

She is survived by her siblings Paula (John) Pegher, Kathy Lansbury, and Ron (Sue) Wichryk. She is also survived by many extended family members and in-laws who loved her dearly. She was preceded in death by her brother James (Jimmy) Wichryk and her mother, Marlene Wichryk. 

The family encourages donations to local charities that reflect Susan’s lifelong devotion to helping others.
