Merry Christmas 🕯️❤️
It is with deep sadness, that we share the news of the passing of our dear colleague, Jada Callender.
Jada was an AHCS employee for 22.5 years faithfully dedicated to service of the agency and community.
Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.
Her contributions will be remembered fondly by all who had the privilege of working with her. She brought kindness, dedication, professionalism, and grace to those she served and worked with daily. Jada’s talents were an endless joy for many, with her photography works of art sprinkled throughout the community and the delicious dishes she would create. All of us will deeply miss her presence.
We understand that this may be a difficult time for many of you if you would like to share your favorite memories or pictures of Jada, please drop them in the comments and we will share them with her family.

So heartbreaking😭prayers for her coworkers and family❤️🙏🏻
I was one of Jada’s first children she had when she became a case manager almost 23 years ago. She also became my mentor when that program opened up, and when the program ended when I was 14- she continued on her own time and dime until I was eighteen years old. For 13 years of my life I had Jada every Tuesday and Thursday from 5-8pm. Doreen Davis brought her to my home and I thank god everyday for the angel he sent me. After I had “graduated” the program and became an adult, I learned of a different Jada, not just my kind teacher who bought gem stone kits for us to inspect and learn about, my amazing mentor who taught me to drive— I found a best friend in her as adults. I was finally in on the jokes I wasn’t allowed to hear as a child and the CD’s she’d turn off in her old beige sedan before she upgraded to SUV’s. She became my best friend, even until my age now where I am almost 30. Jada, she was the most amazing human being I’ve ever met. She saved my life and continued to support me, cry with me, laugh with me and even walked my down the aisle at my wedding. Jada, you’re irreplaceable and I know your soul is at peace, but I miss you my dear friend, I’ll continue photography, just as you taught me.
She use to come in the dealership with her momma when I worked there. Such a sweet sweet soul ❤️
The AHCS developmental services staff and individuals they serve celebrated the Christmas season and holiday with a festive fun evening last week. They even had a special visitor from the North Pole!
