Ulysses J. Adamson “Bubba” was born on Oct. 22, 1946, to U.V. and Allie Adamson. He was preceded in death by his parents, U.V. and Allie Adamson; his sister, Queen McFrazier and two brothers: Hershel and Darnell Adamson. Ulysses grew up in Bluff, Okla., and was in church at an early age. He moved from Bluff to California where he was in Job Corp from 1960-1962 and later moved to Oklahoma City in 1964 where he married the love of his life, Cleo “Cliff” Jeffries, and to this union four children were reared: Tony, Kyndrea, Ulionel “Totsy” and Kisha.

Ulysses worked for the City of Oklahoma City for 43 years and retired in 2011. He also worked part-time for Standard Building Maintenance for 30 years. He believed in working hard and instilled this in his children.
