Wanda Marie Mcbade

Wanda Marie McBade passed away peacefully October 9, 2019, surrounded by family. She was born December 8, 1952, in Newport, Rhode Island, the first child of Johnny R. and Marie D. (Kneisel) Putnam. Wanda’s early years were spent in Idaho and then California, where she resided for over 45 years. 5 years ago she left San Rafael, California, with her husband, daughter and her family for a more quiet country life in Mountain Grove, Missouri.

Wanda worked in the real estate industry for many years and was the owner/operator of a Real Estate Transaction Coordinator business named Recoords. She was a spirited and lively individual who lived life fully. Her kind and caring heart touched the lives of so many, but none so much as her daughter, her daughter’s fiancé, and her granddaughter. Her love for them was unmeasurable and will be forever remembered. Her other great love was for animals. She was a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and devoted friend to all who knew her.

Wanda was preceded in death by her husband, Ed McBade.

Survivors include her daughter, Nikki MacDonneil, Nikki's fiancé, Chris Kerns, her granddaughter, Casey MacDonneil, three sisters: Debra Mayer and husband David, Patty Hopper, and Kathy Shrode, and numerous nieces and nephews.
