Michelle Kaye Wade, beloved wife, daughter, and lifelong friend to many, passed in her sleep at her home in Cypress, Texas at the young age of 57. Michelle was born in Houston where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene from the University of Texas in 1986. Her career as a Dental Hygienist was spent primarily with Doctors William Thorsell and Mark O'Neal, and she was certified in CPR training classes which she performed on a part time basis.

She married her best friend, Al Wade, on April 5th, 1997. They shared a beautiful marriage in which they enjoyed lots of traveling, beach vacations, camping, concerts, and countless happy memories. It is rare to find a couple as devoted as Al and Michelle were, and it was evident that they had a very special bond. Michelle loved caring for plants and animals, especially cats—feeding any strays that found themselves around her home. She was very compassionate and generous to her friends and family, offering kind gifts and help whenever she could.

Michelle leaves behind her husband of 24 years, Al Wade, parents Harry and Sherry Dunlap, brother Ray Dunlap, stepson Tommy Wade and wife Sadie, step grandson Harvey, stepdaughter Sabrina Wade, nephew Raymond Dunlap and wife Sandra, niece Nicole Dunlap, grand-niece Avalynn Dunlap, childhood friend Rachel Nicol and husband Greg, and many other friends and family.

Michelle loved the Lord, her family, her friends, her country, and she will be missed greatly by all who knew her. Although Michelle was called home too soon, she's with the Lord now wearing a smile every day, joined with loved ones who preceded her.
