It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Judith "Judie" A. Wade, age 74, of Niagara Falls, who departed this life on July 7, 2026.

Judie was predeceased by her loving parents, Annabelle (Crain) and Harold Wade. She was also predeceased by her brother, Gary (Patti) Wade, and sister, Bonnie (Alan) Simmons, and also her longtime companion, James Plennart.

Judie will be greatly missed by her sisters, Drena Wade and Nancy (Steve) Cullen. She is also survived by her many nieces, nephews, cousins and their spouses.

Judie was known for her quirky sense of humor, unique ability to make people laugh even on their worst days and love of everyone else’s children. Family and faith were central to her life. Even sitting on the porch turned into a fun time with family, friends, and of course food! She was also a dedicated Buffalo Bills fan.

Judie was employed at several health care facilities taking care of the elderly and disabled. She was last employed at United Cerebral Palsy Association until she retired several years ago.

In Judie’s words: “Parting is such sweet sorrow”.

A Celebration of Judie's Life will be held at a later date.  Flowers are graciously declined. Arrangements by M.J. Colucci & Son Niagara Funeral Chapel.  Visit mjcoluccifuneralchapel.com for online condolences.
