Mary Frances Sadler
Listen to Obituary
Mary Frances Sadler was the daughter of Robert and Mary Lee. She was born on April 18, 1932 in Birmingham, Alabama. She had one brother, James Hawkins, who preceded her in death.
Sister Mary was a graduate of Westfield HS in Westfield, AL. After completing high school she relocated to New York City and later began a 30-plus year career as a certified nursing assistant. It was during those years that she met and married her late husband Nathaniel Sadler. They were happily married for 22 years. Mary was affectionately called “Frankie” by her late husband and was known to many others as just “Ma.”
Sister Mary was a great cook; her dishes and recipes were always desired by those who knew her. Also she had a great love for traveling, her other passions included reading, crossword puzzles, caring for her plants and spending time with her family and close friends. Sister Mary could often be found shopping at the nearest sale whether it was at Pathmark, Macy’s or Home Goods – just to name a few.
She was a faithful disciple of the St. Luke Baptist Church family and often traveled with the church. She had become especially fond of the church’s W.O.W. (Worship on Wednesday) Service which she attended up until her illness.
She leaves to cherish her memory: two sons, Ronald Sadler of Philadelphia, PA and Donald Sadler (Vera) of Wappingers Falls, NY; one daughter, Natalie Sadler of Tarrytown, NY; five grandchildren, David Jr., Johari, Tahari, Shahari, and Olivier; one sister-in-law, Elsie Hawkins; she also leaves a special niece, Aisha Hakim, as well as several other nieces and nephews; her closest friend, Sister Venia Ray and a host of relatives and friends. We thank God for her life and her eternal care.
Lovingly submitted,
