Sadie Bard Obituary

HAMPTON - Sadie W. Bard, 86, passed away on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2009.
She was a native of Crisfield, Md., and had been a Hampton resident for 50 years.
After a 26 year career, she retired from the Noland Company as a cost analyst operator. As a faithful and very active member of Liberty Baptist Church, she participated in many social activities, sang in the Heart Throbs Choir, worked on the kitchen committee, and taught Sunday school for more than 40 years. She enjoyed crafts and hand work including embroidery, crochet, and needlework. Her skills as a seamstress lead her to create and construct many outfits without using sewing patterns, including making dresses for family members for special occasions and gatherings.
Preceding her in rest is her beloved husband, Oscar C. Bard, who passed away on Nov. 7, 1980; parents, Elmer C. and Sadie Matthews; and sister and brother, Doris and Clifton.
Surviving members of her family include her daughters, Barbara Tyler and husband, Terry, Rebecca West and husband, Bill, and Marcia Fox; numerous grand and great-grandchildren who all referred to her as "Mom – Mom"; sisters, Mary Goldsborough, age 97, and Elva Parks, age 92; and several special nieces.
She will be greatly missed by many in her Church family at Liberty Baptist Church and also by the "Hardees Lunch Bunch" which met at the Big Bethel Road location.
The family extends a sincere thank you to the many kind and caring nurses and nurse's aids at the Northampton Convalescent Center for the concern and compassion expressed to Mrs. Bard during her time at the center.

Sadie's family,
Our family was neighbor to Sadie for 20 years at the apartments. She instilled many things to myself and our girls. My condolences to your loss.

Barbarba, Becky, and Family ~~~

I hope this entry gets to you, sorry I'm late.
Please accept my condolences in the death of Sadie.

I knew your mom and dad for all of my life. I grew up at Liberty, and spent a fair amount of time with them over the years, as with you ! My parents loved them as well. I know I haven't been close to you guys in a number of years, but my memories of both of them will last a lifetime.

I'm honored to have known them both and now that they are gone, its time to remember their love, their kindness and honor their Lord.

Know that I have prayed for you all since my brother told me about Sadie's passing.

I'd like to think I was the man they thought I was, they kinda liked me ....hahahahah

It's hard for me to talk about one of them without talking about them both. I'm smiling as I remember them both.

Love to you all.

Mrs Sadie was one of the first people I met when I went to work at Noland Co in 1972. She always had a smile. She was beautiful inside & out. My prayers go out to her family.

Barbara, Becky and family
It was such an honor to have your mom, Sadie, for a friend. Thank you for bringing her down to Northampton so that we could go to see her. She was such a godly woman and reminded me so much of my own mother. Our prayers are with you all and we hope that you will let some of know when you are down here so that we can all go over to Hardees and see you! Thanks again

My thoughts, and prayers are with you all in this time of grief. I lived on Roberta Drive, and rode with Sadie to, and from Noland company for several year. I considered her a good friend though I haven't seen her for quiet a few years. I know she is truly home now with the Lord.

Barbara and Becky your mother kept our front porch free of leaves. It was always nice to arrive home to a neat porch. In the fall she would decide the leave covering the "yard" needed to go. When I arrived home from school, she would be raking. After getting my rake, I would join her. We talked, raked, and filled bags. I would not have raked at all if it had not been for your Mom. Sadie often had projects in the works at home, lunch with her Hardees buddies, or activities at Liberty. It was a always a delight to see her looking sharp as she headed out. Sadie loved God and had a personal relationship with Jesus. I was blessed by her friendship. May God Bless each family member with peace.

Barbara, your mom was such an inspiration to me. A sweet and Godly woman. I am sadden to hear of her death. May God give you peace and comfort in the days ahead.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I live at Westwood Apartments and spent many a summer afternoon with Sadie and Miss Liz under the trees. It really is strange to look out my back window and not see her white car. I visited Sadie at Northampton when my father was there. My thoughts and prayers are with all you during this difficult time.
