Rachel Yvonne Splawn Wade, 80, peacefully passed away on Wednesday, May 29, 2024, at Kitty Askins Hospice Center. Born in Inman, South Carolina on August 15, 1943, she was the daughter of the late Gordon and Fannie Powers Splawn.

Rachel is survived by her sons, Anthony Glenn Wade and Russell Eric Wade, and wife, Jennifer; grandchildren, Derek Wade, Mackenzie Wade, and Caleb Wade; great-grandchildren, Casey, Rayne, and Rylie; and sister, Naomi Perryman and husband, Jim.

Rachel enjoyed being outdoors, especially when she had the opportunity to work in her garden. Her tender care was evident in every area of her yard. Rachel’s family was her pride and joy. She loved to spoil them all and anytime the family was out and about, she paid for everything.

Rachel was a dedicated and faithful member of Faith Free Will Baptist Church.
