Meet the Adams Family

Quincy and Sunnie Adams first met when they were 14-year-old students at Dixie Middle School. They dated all through high school and she (sort of) waited for him while he served a mission in Chile. In 1999, six months after he returned, they were married in the St. George Temple. They now have a 6-year-old son Quincy and a daughter, 2-year-old Amy.

The 1st son and 4th of 7 children of Nolan and Meretta Adams, Quincy was born in Salt Lake City, but came to St. George as a toddler. Quincy is a direct descendant of Samuel Adams (a cousin to U. S. President John Adams), who was a leader in the movement which resulted in the American Revolution and a signer of the Declaration of Independence. The current Quincy Adams loves soccer, is a professional pilot and is, at the moment, seeking gainful employment as one of thousands of Utahns who has been hit hard by the nation's economic downturn.

Sunnie is 7th of the 8 children of Steve and Sylvia Peterson. She is a graduate of Dixie State College and Southern Utah University where she majored in Family and Consumer Science. She also graduated from cosmetology school, but always knew her calling in life was to be a wife and mother. As a child, when asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, Sunnie responded she wanted to be "a Sylvia!" Welcome to the Bloomington 7th Ward, Adams family!
