Carolyn Wade

Carolyn Jane McDonald was born to the late Claudie and Velma McDonald in Kibbee, Georgia on May 18, 1935. She lived a simple life which valued family and faith. Carolyn loved the Lord and her legacy of faith lived on through her two children, five grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.

Carolyn was a gifted seamstress and could expertly sew anything from dresses and curtains to furniture covers. Carolyn enjoyed reading books and had them all around her house. She always had her Daily Bread Devotional and Bible nearby. Even though she was unable to attend church she continued to worship at home. She had a gift for encouraging friends and family with hand-written notes and always remembered each one of her family with special cards and gifts at Christmas and birthdays. Carolyn was always helping her friends.

Carolyn loved attending church and was most recently a member of First Baptist Church in Selmer. She was active in Sunday school, enjoyed singing in the choir, and was quick to serve others. She passed away on Saturday, April 13, 2019 at the age of 83 after seeing all nine of her great grandchildren in the preceding two weeks.

Mrs. Wade is survived by her daughters, Susan Lee (Robert) of Selmer and Sharon Nowak (Bryan) of Hoschton, Georgia; grandchildren, Rebecca Lee Maddox (Casey) of Hoover, AL, Robert Kirk Lee Jr. of Nashville, Kristen Parker (David) of Jefferson, GA, Kevin Nowak (Rebekah) of Senoia, GA, and Terri Davis (Jason) of Winder, GA; nine great grandchildren, Will and Abby Maddox, Logan, Jacelyn, and Xander Parker, Ellison, Emelia Rae, Everly, and Eland Nowak; and a host of close friends.
