Christine K. Wade of 92 years passed away on Sunday December 20, 2020 in Indianapolis, IN. Christine K. Wade was born in Greenwood, Mississippi to Father Willie and Mary Bustic-Kitchell on January 5, 1928. She attended and graduated school in Greenwood, Mississippi. She joined John W. Wade in holy matrimony on June 5, 1948 in Greenwood, Mississippi. She worked as a medical assistant for Central State hospital, for many years and she also worked in hospitality at Lane Bryant where she retired. After retirement she continued to work as a senior companion for many families in need. Christine confessed her hope and faith in Christ Jesus at an early age. She attended and became a member at Travelers Rest Baptist Church in Greenwood, Mississippi.

Then lastly Christine joined Abyssinian Missionary Baptist Church, where Rev Carson was pastor and present pastor, Rev. Caver. Christine was the President of the nurse’s guild and missionary board. Christine was a faithful member and always helped wherever needed. Christine’s priority was to make sure that family was introduce to Christ, just as she was as a child. She made it her responsibility to pick up all the grandkids for church, as well as making sure they were all active in church. Christine was an awesome cook and she made her food with love. She cooked for any and everybody without hesitation. If you were hungry; she fed you. If she was not cooking, you found her at her favorite restaurant, Rallys, snacking with all her grandkids. Not only did she feed our stomachs, but she also fed our souls with a word of God. Christine knew she was blessed, so she made it her job to bless others. Christine K.
