Debby Wade

ProTeam honors the life and legacy of a veteran sales representative, Debby Wade, who passed away on Dec. 6, 2024.    

Wade graduated from Saint Mary’s College, the private women’s liberal arts college at Notre Dame University with a degree in Business and then started her career with the White Mop Wringer/Pullman Holt Companies in the early ‘80s. In 1995 she joined the Jan/San rep agency Sales Plus, Inc. When Access Partners acquired Sales Plus in 2005, she continued her rep career until her retirement at the end of 2018.

Wade played a significant role in building and maintaining strong relationships with industry-leading brands, including ProTeam. Admired by many in her field, Wade was known for her work ethic, personality, and her ability to bring people together. Beyond her professional accomplishments, she was the matriarch of her family, leaving behind three sons: Freddie and wife Michole, Phillip and wife Juliet, the late Robert and seven grandchildren.

Wade’s contributions to the Jan/San industry and her commitment to her work will be remembered fondly by colleagues and clients alike. She leaves a legacy of excellence, kindness, and innovation.
