Our Lady Vol family is heartbroken to learn of the passing of Tennessee legend Daedra Charles. Head coach Holly Warlick shared her feelings regarding the loss of a remarkable woman many considered a sister and friend. You can find her words in the graphic above and below.
Once we have further information and details about services for Daedra, we’ll have a release available on UTSports.com and will disseminate via news release and social media.
“My heart is broken from the loss of one of the greatest players to play at Tennessee, Daedra “Night Train” Charles (Furlow). An Olympian, a pro player, an ambassador for the Lady Vols, and more importantly a wonderful person/mother. Dae had a spirit that was so uplifting, and you never thought she had a bad day. Our memories of Daedra will bring us comfort and smiles. But it will also bring me tears because she is suddenly gone. Lord wrap your arms around her…I know she has found her peace.” — Lady Vol Basketball Head Coach Holly Warlick
