| West Valley View, Avondale, AZ January 4, 2017 H. Romona Wade was born in Rico, CO on January 9, 1931. This earthly angel got her wings and ascended to heaven on June 26, 2016. While Romona was born In Colorado, she was mostly reared in Flagstaff, AZ. She was a 1948 graduate of Flagstaff High School. She studied one year at Northern Arizona University, but then married the love of her life, William Z Wade, and relocated to Goodyear, AZ. For 37 years of the 63 years of marriage she was a farmer’s wife. When not raising her children and caring for her husband and home, Romona was active in her church teaching Sunday School and Vacation Bible School at First Southern Baptist Church in Avondale for over 35 years. She was a teacher up until Bill said, “Mona, we are spending our summers in Colorado.” For 25 years Romona enjoyed spending her summers in Dolores, Colorado visiting with her family and their church family who resided there. Romona was loved tremendously by all that were blessed to know her. She was known for her unwavering kindness, abounding generosity, and sublime and naturally loving nature. Romona was predeceased by her husband, William Z. Wade; her mother, Mary Campbell; her father, George Osterfeld; her sister, Alice Wilson; her brother Samuel Osterfeld; and her granddaughter, Lindsey Antunez. Her younger brother, Richard Wheeler has since passed after Romona’s death. She is survived by her three children: Lanny, Terry (Betty), and Gail (Jerry), all of Goodyear, AZ. In addition she is survived by her six grandchildren, Chris Wade of Chinook, WA; Misty Tynkila (Jason) of Ilwaco, WA; Garrett Antunez (Jaymi) of Avondale, AZ; Grady Antunez of Phoenix, AZ ; Jon Bearup (Kendra) of Buckeye, AZ; and Michael Bearup (Sarah) of Goodyear, AZ.
