From Susan Adams, April 2025:

My Dad's brother, Trevor Adams (Uncle Trevor) lived in New Rochelle with his young wife, Ruth Higgins Adams and adopted son, Timmy. Ruthie went on as the Editor of BRIDE'S MAGAZINE or so I was told. We knew her as aunt Ruthie. Lovely woman.   Born May 24, 1914. Died: March 1, 2005

Uncle Trevor was EIGHT YEARS older than my father and was in broadcasting as well . Trevor died of a heart attack at a young age (37?) at Delmonico's Steak House in the city, I don't recall ever meeting him so it must've been 1954, I was born in 1955.

After uncle Trevor's passing, dad tried to help the young widow, Ruthie  with her boy, who of course was distraught. The boy had a tough go of it-adopted then losing the father he'd ever known.

Family/Spouse: Ruth Higgins. Ruth was born on 24 May 1914; died on 1 Mar 2005. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Obituary:
Patricia Lent

Randolph— Patricia Adams Lent died peacefully at the Randolph home of son and daughter-in-law, Jeffrey and Marion Lent, on November 16, 2021.

She was born Patricia Haynes Adams, December 12, 1926 to Helen Dunham Haynes and John Trevor Adams in Garden City, Long Island. She grew up there and in Westport, Conn.; Asheville, N.C.; and Clearwater, Fla. Against her father's social expectations, she attended Plymouth State Teachers College and graduated from Johnson State Teachers College.

During childhood, her passions for dogs and bicycle riding were discovered and remained so all of her life. During World War II, as a high school student, she volunteered for Vermont's Farm Labor Service and discovered the two other major passions of her adult life: agriculture and education.

After beginning her teaching career in Vermont schools with her first husband, Henry Colley, she paddled the length of the Allagash Waterway at a time when few made that journey.

In 1953, she married her second husband, Henry (Hank) B. Lent Jr. in North Pomfret, Vt. She put her teaching career on hold as she raised her children, John Trevor Lent, Jeffrey David Lent, and Elizabeth Anne Lent, while also working on the farm with Hank, driving team, and helping with the cattle; the sheep, especially during lambing; and caring for the horses. She loved her Queen Atlantic wood range.

In 1966, the family moved to a farm in New York's Finger Lakes, and there she resumed her teaching career. Following her divorce in 1978, she moved to North Carolina, where she taught for the remainder of her career, in smaller rural schools. During this time, she brought her focus to teaching English to eighth grade classes, believing as she did that this was a prime time to launch fires in her students.

She organized drama clubs, newspapers, and literary magazines, as well as introducing soccer at several of these schools as an intramural sport. She taught until her retirement at age 70. She was a passionate teacher, recalled by many former students.

During her adult life, she bred, raised, and trained dogs, primarily terriers of several breeds, as well as setters and pointers. She was a founding member of the Woodstock (Vt.) Dog Club, later the Woodstock Kennel Club. In 1971, she founded the American Working Terrier Association, which now has chapters across the country.

Her final dog was Maggie, a pandemic rescue dog. Sitting bedside vigil were the English Setters, Bella, and Franny. There were very few brief periods in her life when she was without a canine companion.

Patricia was an independent woman, a spirit of the woods and fields, and lived her life accordingly.

She's survived by her children, and her grandchildren: Esther and Clara Lent, Mikaela Engert, Gregory Lent, Brianny, and twins Brendan and Caitlan Ormsby.

Arrangements are by Boardway and Cilley of Chelsea. A private memorial service will be held by the family in spring of 2022.

Patricia married Henry Wakeman Coley, III on 17 Aug 1950 in Maidstone, Essex County, Vermont, and was divorced on 17 Feb 1954 in Windsor, Windsor County, Vermont. Henry was born on 7 Feb 1926 in Norwalk, Fairfield County, Connecticut; died on 4 Dec 2012 in Bennington, Bennington County, Vermont; was buried on 29 Dec 2012 in Evergreen Cemetery, Arlington, Bennington County, Vermont.

Patricia married Henry Bolles "Hank" Lent in 1953 in North Pomfret, Windsor County, Vermont, and was divorced on 6 Feb 1978 in Franklin County, North Carolina. Henry was born on 25 Jun 1927 in Reading, Berks County, Pennsylvania; died on 19 Dec 1982; was buried after 19 Dec 1982 in Milo Mennonite Church Cemetery, Penn Yan, Yates County, New York.
