Allene Renee

Adams

Allene Renee (Botzum) Adams, age 80, of Indianapolis, Indiana, entered the gates of Heaven on Thursday, November 12, 2026. Allene was born on September 23, 1946, in Indianapolis, Indiana, to the late Sydney and the late Allene Loyce (Stamm) Botzum. She was a graduate of Washington High School in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Allene married the love of her life, Gerald “Jerry” Wayne Adams on April 29, 1967. Together they built a life of love, laughter and happiness. Allene and Jerry were life-long residents of the west side of Indianapolis where they raised their 3 children, Dawn, David, and Danny. Allene took great pride in creating a warm and welcoming environment for her family and all their friends. We often joked that our home was a Community Center.

Allene gave the warmest hugs and always had time to sit and listen. When you talked with her, you never felt rushed. She loved to pray with people and for them, and somehow, she always brought the conversation back to Jesus. That was Allene, and it’s one of the things we will miss most about her.

Allene raised her 3 kids and babysat many other kids over the years. She loved to teach them all stories and songs. She also worked at Hawthorne Community Center for several years.

Allene attended Brownsburg Church of the Nazarene, one of her favorite places to be because she could worship God and spend time with people she loved. Singing and worshiping were among her greatest joys. For 35 years, she traveled with her family as a singing evangelist, ministering to people across the Midwest. Allene also shared her talent as a ventriloquist with her community. Her puppet Coco was a favorite with her great-grandchildren, and she loved to hear them giggle.

Allene was preceded in death by her parents, Sydney Sylvester and Allene Loyce Botzum. She was also preceded in death by her brothers, Ronnie, Jerry, and her sister Marilyn.

Surviving to carry on Allene’s memory is her husband of 59 years, Jerry Adams; her children, Dawn (Bob), David (Charlene), and Danny; grandchildren, Shaley (Adrian), Austin, Kelsey (Vince), Emma, Johnny, Anna, Luke, Harper, and Holt; and great grandchildren Brandon, Aria, Aspyn, Junior, Mason, and Crue.

Visitation will be held at Brownsburg Church of the Nazarene, 523 Locust Lane, Brownsburg, Indiana 46112, on Monday, November 16, 2026, from 11:00AM – 1:00PM. Funeral Service will begin at 1:00PM.
