Born on November 17, 1912, Mrs. Stromer was the daughter of Harry and CorrineAdams and the oldest of nine children. She wore many hats throughtout her life:devoted wife, mother, housewife, sales associate, gardener, and friend. She was a woman who lived life her way relishing each moment especially those on the dance floor. She offered wise words, which she followed, to her grandson at his down moment, 'Do not regret the past; move on; look to the future.' When asked once about her success with flowers, she replied, 'When I stick them in the soil, I tell them you'd better grow or I'll pull you out of there.' It must have worked as her thumb was surely green. Survivors include: her daughters, Carolyn Bienvenu and husband Ronald of New Iberia, and Marilyn Breaux and husband Paul of Lafayette; her grandchildren Leah Guilbeau and husband Cecil, Lisa Bienvenu, Bryan Bienvenu and wife Shannon , Jason Breaux and James Breaux; three great-grandchildren-Riley and Grace Bienvenu, and Julia Guilbeau.; brother Darrell Adams of Houston and sister Amy Champagne of Luling, and sister-in-law Thelma 'Butch' Adams; and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
