Sadie was an intelligent and creative person,
and will live on forever in our hearts and through the beautiful art she created, most notably through the painting she took up as a hobby at Maitland Manor.
Sarah was born in Kilwinnng Ayrshire Scotland and worked in Leamington Spa and lived in Worksop, England before the family moved to Grande Cache Alberta where Sadie loved working in SaveRite foods, she loved to telling stories of the people and situations she met everyday. Upon retiring Sadie and Bill settled in Meneset Park, Goderich.
She will be sadly missed by the many friends she made everywhere she went, and she will be fondly remembered by her family here in Canada and in Scotland, England and Australia. Also remembered by her many nieces and nephews around the world.
A child during the Great Depression and Second World War, Mom knew the value of hard work and the importance of family and community, mum’s faith now leads her to her next reward.
Our family would like to acknowledge the care and compassion received by The Staff of Maitland Manor Long Term Care Goderich, Dr M. Dawson, and McCallum & Palla Funeral Home.
Interment has taken place and a celebration of Sadie’s life will be held at a later time when the world is a safer place to gather.
In lieu of flowers, please honour Sarah with a donation to the charity of your choice. Friends may sign the book of condolences at www.mccallumpalla.ca.

I met Sadie at Meneset and loved her accent. A lively, generous woman who gave me a stick of Rose of Sharon that is now a full, healthy, colourful tree that I have always treasured and will do so now more than ever that she’s gone. My sympathy to you all. Sandra Forster

Ann, Brian and family. I will miss that beautiful smile and witty words of our Sadie. She always brightened our day with a little song or giggle. My condolences to you all. You are a wonderful daughter and I know you will miss seeing her everyday at work. We will too. God Speed Sadie Sue ❤️❤️

Aunt Sadie was my godmother, I used to sit on her knee and she always said I had a Bonnie bum but I really think she meant I had a boney bum. I was so skinny as a wee boy . (Although not so much now ). God bless you Aunt Sadie. All my Love from David.

AnneMarie I am sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. I admired her courage to take on life after she lost your dad. She was a strong woman who could always be counted on to give you an honest answer with that wonderful smile that lite up the room.

Thinking of you all at this sad time. Sadie was a absolute pocket rocket, so full of sass, just like her sister Nan. We are so glad we got to meet her. Much love from Australia

I lived in Toronto, and saw Sadie when I went to Goderich
We would go shopping and often bump into Sadie and Ann.
May she Rest In Peace
