Sadie was always young at heart with a bubbly personality that never met a stranger. She always had a smile for someone. She was a stay-at-home mother and wife who cared for and loved her family. She enjoyed spending time with her family, especially during the holidays. She loved Christmas and would have decorations from top to bottom of her house.
Sadie was loved by her family and friends. She was called “Mawmaw” by her grandchildren and great-grands, who looked forward to hearing her stories and Eskimo kisses.
She will be missed by many.
