I knew your mom many, many years ago when she and my mom worked at Katz Drug store by St. John's. I remember her very fondly. Such a warm and lovely woman.

We are so sad to hear about Sadies passing and our thoughts and prayers go out to her family & friends. My husband Jim lived across the street from her growing up and we both worked with her at Walgreens. We think about her fondly with a smile and a laugh as she had such a feisty personality. One of my favorite memories is her yelling across the street at my father-in-law, Moon Face go back to work and leave these kids alone they are not bothering anyone, they are good kids! You always knew where you stood with Sadie.
God Bless you Sadie

My twin sister and I knew Sadie growing up as little girls. She was like having another Grandmother. She was My Grandmother's best friend and neighbor. My twin sister and I would always go over to her house and visit. We enjoyed listening to her talk because she was so funny. She would watch us sometimes when we were little. It's Ironic that she passed at the age of 93 which was the age of my Grandmother who passed and in the same month of October as my Grandmother. She will be missed.

Sadie lived a full life and she was loved and adored by many. She will be missed but her values and faith will continue on in all of us that were lucky enough to be touched by her grace.
For all those she has left behind, take comfort in knowing that she is looking over you and will always be a part of you.
Peace be with you
