Memorial services are being planned and will be announced.

Wade Hampton Page Sr., 92, of Kingston, New York passed away peacefully on September 3, 2025. Born in Blackshear, Georgia, Wade was a resilient man with a beautiful soul. Raised in the Okefenokee Swamp, Georgia, Wade's truest self showed when sharing jokes with his loved ones and voicing his opinion directly. Wade was a Korean War veteran who was courageous, selfless and honorable in every aspect of his life.

Wade was married to Johanna R. Whittaker, until her passing in 2005, with whom he raised and cared deeply for ten children. Wade is survived by one daughter, Patricia L. Page and her daughters Alyssa J. Page, Isabella M.L. Page, Justina R. Page and many other grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Wade was known for his quick wit as well as his ability to make others laugh. If you saw him he was always with his spit jug and dip. In the end of his life, Wade resided at Golden Hill in Kingston, New York, where he was known for being a ladies man and chatterbox. Wade's family would like to thank the A3 staff at Golden Hill for their compassion and kindness toward Wade.
