Rita Joan Shade

Sorry to hear of Mrs. Shade's death. My mother was one of her "neighbors" at Wesley Ridge. I'll miss Mrs. Shade's smile, and the "A cat lives here" sign which showed her love of cats.

Please let me extend my condolences to the whole Shade family on Joan's passing.AsJoan's Dentist for the past 50 years I've felt more like a family member than just her Dentist.Having had knee surgery this past week I will not be able to attend the funeral home showing but my thoughts will be with all of you at this sad time.

Bev and family, so sorry for your loss. Your mother was a great lady. Was glad I got to visit with her a few times at Wesley Ridge. I shared a few Spain trip pictures with her which brought a smile to her face.

For years I enjoyed seeing Joan at our monthly "Girls Nite Out" She was always so gentle and sweet. I also appreciated the many alterations she did for me. She was a special lady.

Shade Children: I remember your Mom & Dad as the kindest people at East Columbus Christian Church. Your mother's sweet disposition always stood out! So sorry to hear about her passing. My mother is Helen Carter.

She was a great person, always nice to our employees and to our family. Our condolences to the Shade family.

I will always remember her sweet smile and calm voice. Her gentleness was genuine and generous. Rest in Peace, dear Aunt Joan.

Craig and family...so sorry to hear of your great loss-you and yours are in our prayers.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Shade family - we will miss seeing her at the family gatherings.
