Sadie was a dedicated and hardworking chef at Diamonds Restaurant for more than 40 years before retiring 30 years ago.

A devoted and loving mother, Sadie was proud of her family and affectionately known as "Mama Sadie" to her only grand-daughter Linda Pore-Roach and her only great-grandson Darren Pore. She loved any chance to spend time with close friends and family, especially holidays and family get-togethers. An avid Cleveland Cavilers fan, Sadie knew every player by name, jersey and statistic!

Sadie will be remembered for her feisty, yet, endearing sense of humor. She loved to travel and was admired for her fashionable style of dress and hats. Her desire to be a singer as a young girl, was evident in the songs she sang to her family. She will be greatly missed by all that knew and loved her.
