It is with sadness that the family of Marcy Lynne Hancock Adams announces the passing of our daughter, wife, mother, and friend on September 08, 2024.
She is deeply loved, and her unexpected passing has left a deep void in our souls.
Marcy was born June 8, 1969, to Lee and Marilyn Lavender Hancock. She was an only child and doted on by her family, sharing a special bond to her grandma “Mimi.” She is happily reunited with Mimi now talking about life experiences, the many sleepovers they had and the safety and love she provided.
She enjoyed shopping trips, traveling with her mom, and talking to her daily. She appreciated her dad for providing for her needs and sharing a common bond in watching Utah Jazz games.
Marcy attended Brigham Young University, majoring in Elementary Education. She went on to be a beloved elementary school teacher and coach for over 30 years. She championed all her students, but especially those with unique needs. She received her Master of Education, her Technology and Coaching degree and her Administration degree.
She loved teaching the children in primary and as a youth instructor with her husband Jon as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Being a wife and mother was her top priority. Marcy and Jon were best friends and sweethearts. They created eternal memories through travel, family Sunday dinners, celebrating milestones, holidays, game nights and supporting their amazing children. She was a great conversationalist, and the two had many throughout their 31 years of marriage.
Marcy loved being a mom to Alexa, Catherine, and Christopher. She was an expert on unconditional love, along with deep and meaningful individual conversations. She gave great advice, always wanting what was best for her kids. She loved to attend competition dance, football, soccer, and roller derby games always cheering for her kids. She was also a great dog mom, adopting two rescue animals, Cash and Mocha.
Marcy was preceded in death by her beloved grandparents Mildred “Mimi” Lavender and Ned and Melva Hancock. She is also survived by her parents Lee and Marilyn Hancock, her husband Jon and children Alexa, Catherine, and Christopher.
We thank you all for your love and support during this time.
In lieu of flowers, a GoFundMe has been established to help with her unexpected passing.
A Celebration of Life gathering will be held from 5-7PM on Sunday September 15, 2024 at Larkin Mortuary – Riverton, 3688 West 12600 South in Riverton, Utah.

Jon, I am so beyond heartbroken for you and your family. I hope you can feel the love and prayers being sent your way❤️
We love you Jonathan. Thinking about your family.
I am in a bucket of tears. This is a big shock. Marci was such a lovely girl growing up in our ward. I loved hearing about all your fun mom and daughter trips. You saw the world together, and together you meant the world to each other. I loved reading about her many accomplishments. She was a go-getter. I can see she wasted no time on earth. May blessings come your way with comfort and Heaven’s love. We are praying for you.
Jonathan, we are sadden and shocked about Marcy’s passing. You were our best friends for many years. Our daughters (your babysitters) kept up with your family through social media and always shared the growth of your children with us. This news was difficult for us to learn. Our love continues for you and your family and you always have our support.
I’m so sorry to hear this news! Alexa was my best friend growing up — her and her family have always had a place in my heart. I have memories of Marcy taking care of us and telling us to NOT eat the flavored chapsticks she bought us. My heart goes out to Alexa and the family! ❤️
Such a terrible loss! Our family sends love and prayers to the Adam’s as well as Marcy’s parents Lee and Marilyn Hancock. With love for all!
I'm so sorry old friend. All my love to you and your family. May your heart be filled with all the wonderful memories, and also the knowledge that you can be together again!

I cannot imagine the pain and heartache you’re feeling. I am praying for your peace and comfort.
I am so sorry about your cute wife. I can’t imagine the suffering you are enduring along with your children because you are such a caring person. I am sorry I cannot attend Her remembrance as I am not allowed to drive because of injuries from an accident I am doing better every day, so don’t even think about me. Take care of those beautiful kids and take care of yourself.
I do not have words to express my sorrow for your loss. Marcy was one in a million. She came to my aide anytime I needed her. She was such a support and friend to me. She used to say “Corbi, you’ll have to keep reaching out to me. You know I’m not good about reaching out myself. Marcy has such a special place in my heart ❤️. I find myself longing for her just for one more hug. But she is with her grandma right now enjoying the reunion. How sweet it must be. I pray that you are all able to heal and enjoy her legacy.
I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers for you and your family.❤️🙏❤️🙏
I ran in to Corby today and she told me about your daughter. So very sorry for your loss. Prayers and thoughts are with you and your wife.
I am so sorry for your family's loss. I worked with Marcy at Silver Crest Elementary for a few years. She was always so nice and helpful. I wish your family the best.
