Jeraldine Opal “Jed" Wages, 86, passed away peacefully Feb. 23, 2020 in a DeKalb, Texas care facility.
Mrs. Wages was born March 5, 1933 in Michie, Tennessee. She was preceded in death by her husband, Tom Wages, and was a member of the Church of Christ.
Jed was passionate about helping other people in need any way she could. Some of those activities include Meal A Day for many years, making baby hats for premature babies in the hospital and making lap throws for those in wheelchairs. Jed even cut her own hair and donated to Locks for Love, and she sat with the elderly as a sitter and provided for their needs for many years. Jed was also a charter member of the Lone Star Heritage Quilt Guild in Sulphur Springs.
Those left to cherish her memory are her three sons and daughter-in-law, Madonald Wages, Stephanie Wages, Sandy Wages and Tommy Wages; two daughters and sons-in-law, Peggy Davis, Monty Davis, Cathie Pool and Floyd Pool. She is also survived by her brother, Jacky Goff; sister, Lorene Berry; eight grandchildren, Danny Dye, Savannah Pool, Eric Onstott, Ashley Rochelle, Kelsey Onstott, Jacob Wages, Logan Wages and Zain Wages; and numerous great-grandchildren.
The family will have a private memorial service in the future.
