Edna Jane Wade
October 28, 1936 - March 19, 2019
Edna Jane Dawson Wade died peacefully on 19 March, 2019, surrounded by her family.
She was born on 28 October, 1936 in Conway, Arkansas, to James Clarence Dawson and Esther Taylor Dawson.
She attended Conway High School. In 1956 she graduated from Arkansas Teacher’s College in Conway, Arkansas. She taught mathematics at Hughes High School in Hughes, Arkansas. In November 1956 she married Leslie Farley Wade II. The couple moved to the Seattle, Washington area in 1957.
In 1981 the Wades moved to Huntsville, Alabama, where Jane taught accounting at a junior college.

Jane was a member of the First United Methodist Church in Clarksville. She was also a former Regent and member of the D.A.R. and past President and member of P.E.O. Chapter Q.
