Mrs. Ann Wade, age 83 of Hope, Arkansas passed away Wednesday, September 16, 2020 in Shreveport, Louisiana. She was born June 21, 1937 in Bearden, AR to Leonard and Elizabeth Sorrells Quarles. Mrs. Ann or “Annie Jewel”, as she was most commonly known, worked for 25 years as a bookkeeper at Western Auto, as well as working alongside her beloved husband at Glen’s Boot and Shoe Service for 42 years.  Ms. Ann will be remembered for her love for God, sweet Christian spirit, kind heart, and her ability to make everyone feel special and loved. She spent many hours on the phone making sure people knew they were important and that she cared about them, reading card after card to find the perfect one to send for that special occasion, and fulfilling requests for her famous deviled eggs—all done with a heart full of love. She was everybody’s “Mom” and will be deeply missed by us all. We know one happy day in the future, we will see her again, be able to hug her again, and rejoice with her throughout eternity. Preceded in death by her parents, brother; Thomas Quarles and sisters; Joyce Delk and Carolyn Coniglio.
