A grandmother beyond measure she took great joy in her grandchildren and they in her.  She will also be missed by her brother Clarence and sisters Irene, Dorothy and Phoebe and many nephew and nieces.  She was a Salvationist all her life.  Sadie was a beautiful Christian spirit who loved and supported her family with her whole being.  She enjoyed knitting, crocheting and baking and gifted family and friends with much of her work.  Her working years were spent as a cook at the Kennel Club in Sackville and finally as the night cook at Sackville Memorial Hospital, a job she excelled at.  Her remaining years were spent with much pride as a home maker who always welcomed others into her home and was a true and good friend to all.  She will be sadly missed by wonderfully remembered.
