Caitlin was born on April 22, 1991 in Kansas City, Missouri. She was a graduate of Blue Valley High School.
She is survived by her husband Alan Wade, daughters Elise and Emily, step-children Shy, Justin and Laela, parents Gary and Nancy Deckman, sister Olga, brother Kyle (Melissa) Deckman, nephew Drew, grandmother Hazel Deckman and an extended family of aunts, uncles and cousins.
Caitlin’s husband, Alan, was the special love in her life as she was to him. Alan said, ”Caitlin made me happy.” She also adored his children whom she had a close and loving relationship.
Caitlin loved camping and fishing with her Dad, shopping at Costco while sharing ice cream with her Mom, doing the Special Olympics Polar Bear Plunge with Olga, and playing videos with Kyle.
In a letter to a friend a few years ago, Caitlin wrote the verse Psalm 13:6 - I will sing the Lord’s praise for He has been good to me – and then said, “I find comfort in the Lord because yes, He has been good to me.”
In death, as she was in life, Caitlin loved helping and giving to others. She has donated her organs to 3 people who now have a chance at a hopeful future.
