Sadie was a working homemaker her entire adult life. She found pleasure keeping up her house, tending to her beautiful flowers and was never late for her Friday afternoon hair appointment .Her passion for fashion made her a welcomed visitor at many Lafayette retailers.

The family would like to extend a special thanks to Mr. Guy Sarver, Cherie Blanchard and the entire staff at River Oaks Retirement Manor for their wonderful and loving care and for allowing Chere Lantier to participate with Sadie’s Care.
