Iceline Louise Adams
Jan. 1, 1932-Oct. 26, 2026
Palo Alto, California

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Iceline Louise Kong Adams of Palo Alto, California, and Upper Montclair, New Jersey. Known as Icy, she passed peacefully on October 26, 2026, surrounded by her family.

Born on January 1, 1932, in Bellas Gate, Jamaica, Icy dedicated 50 years of her life to serving others as a registered nurse, working in New York City, New Jersey, Portola Valley, and Palo Alto. A graduate of the University College Hospital of the West Indies and Jersey City State University, she was the first in her family to earn a college degree. She instilled the importance of education and public service in her three children who survive her: Linda of New York City; Charlton (Ana) of Los Angeles, and Rose of Berkeley.

An avid swimmer and gardener, Icy was also an enthusiastic traveler who visited 20 countries across five continents. She was known for her impeccable sense of fashion and style, kind heart, passion for volunteering, generosity of spirit, and beautiful smile. She will be deeply missed by the many friends and community members whose lives she touched, including those at Oak Creek Apartments in Palo Alto and Peninsula Volunteers Little House in Menlo Park.
