Helen Wade Obituary
Dian was a kind soul that never met a stranger. She loved her family, animals and her God. The light of her life was Gina Tames, her granddaughter. Any thing Gina did "Gram" was there. She is now healed and enjoying heaven with her beloved schnauzer, Fred; resting in warmth.
In addition to her parents, Dian was preceded in death by her first husband, William E. Lewis.
She is survived by her spouse, Dennis Wade; daughters, Sharon Gritta Connie Tames (Martin); siblings, Barbara Kirkes, Janet McBride, Pat McAloon (Laurie) and one granddaughter, Gina Tames.
