Annie P. Sadler

SADLER, Annie P., 91 wonderful years, of Chesterfield County, departed this life September 14, 2008. She was preceded in death by her first husband, Thaddus Colley; and her second husband, Joe Sadler. She is survived by her children, Tom Colley and his wife, Maxine, Carole Johnson and her husband, Inman, Jane Sadler Brittingham and Jo Ann Mulligan and her husband, Craig; grandchildren, Brian Snipes, Sandra Snipes, Frank Giardina, Keith Colley, Jerry Wright, Christel Wright and Chris Mulligan; and her great-granddaughter, Annie Mulligan, her namesake. She was a longtime member of Providence United Methodist Church where she taught many years of Sunday school as well as a member of a quilters club. Her love for her family sustained her as well as us. "29." If you knew our Mom, you knew that that was an important number to her, surpassed only by "4," the number of her children; "7," the number of her grandchildren; and "1," the number of her great-grandchild. She continually beat the odds and will always remain "29." There is no way anyone who spent time with her could ever forget her. Through everything she always had a smile and something humorous to say to help you along. Annie's family wishes to express their sincerest and heartfelt thanks to the nurses at St. Mary's Hospital for the loving and tender care given to her in her final days. The family will receive friends Wednesday, 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. at the Huguenot Chapel, Woody Funeral Home, 1020 Huguenot Road. Funeral services 11 a.m. Thursday at Providence United Methodist Church, 901 S. Providence Road. Interment Maury Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be given to Providence United Methodist Church.
