Obituary for Charlene Bullard Wade
(Card from flowers above: To our American Grandmother, in appreciation for all of the love and care you have given us over the years. We love you! From the children and staff of the LAR Mana Children's Home, Paulista, Brazil)
Charlene Bullard Wade, 90, passed from this life on November 24,
2020. She leaves a daughter, Kathy Short (Randy) of Recife, Brazil, and two
sons, Randy (Beverly) of Memphis and Philip (Kris) of Greenbrae, CA. She leaves
eight grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her
husband of 64 years, James Edwin Wade. She worked as a secretary for UT Dental
School. She loved her family and deeply cared for children. She was the
preschool coordinator at Macon Rd. Church of Christ for 15 years and later
volunteered in the educational resource room at Germantown Church of Christ. In
recent years, she provided much encouragement through projects for the children
at the LAR Maná Children’s Home in Paulista, Brazil, where the children know
her as their American grandmother. The family would like to express its
gratitude and heartfelt thanks to the nurses and staff at Kirby Pines, Caring
In-Place and to Crossroads Hospice for their loving care. The immediate family
will unite for a funeral service Sunday, Nov. 29 at 1:30. The family requests
that instead of flowers memorial donations be sent to HopeWorks, Agape, or to benefit the LAR Maná children’s home: (Bellevue Church of Christ, 7401 HWY. 100, Nashville, TN. 37221, Attn: Larry Smith/Recife Children's Home)

We hope to have it completed by the time school returns on Feb. 2, 2020. Since this nursery/preschool is located on the campus of the children's home we have not had to close due to covid19 restrictions.
We will be posting pictures of the park as it is completed.
