Sadie Wells Obituary
Our beautiful daughter, sister, and friend was called home by our Father in Heaven as she was faithfully serving Him as a full-time missionary in the Pennsylvania Pittsburgh Mission. Her work in the mission field and upon this earth ended way too soon in a tragic car accident as the vehicle in which she was riding was struck by a school bus. Sadie is survived by her dear parents Lee and Pam and her older brother Bryton and younger sisters Maisie and Olivia.
Sadie will always be remembered for her bright smile, her silly socks, adventurous spirit, her kindness to all and her outgoing and loving spirit. She was a proud Dart, graduating from Davis High School in 2014 where she left her own special mark on both the Cheer and Track Teams. She also loved and graduated from the LDS Seminary Program and received her Young Women's Personal Progress Award. She held a variety of jobs before her mission ranging from tumbling coach, lifeguard at Cherry Hills, and working at Lagoon. After graduation, Sadie attended Utah Valley University for a year where she was majoring in photography before receiving her call to serve the Lord in Pennsylvania.
Sadie had an outgoing, fun-loving passion for life that always brought a smile to those she crossed paths with and met. She was always on the go seeking fun and adventure with family and dear friends. She loved spending summers on and in the water with the family boat and winters on the snow, boarding in the Utah mountains. Sadie and her family also shared many fond memories visiting St. George and Park City, Utah.
Sadie enjoyed painting, drawing and had a passion for photography. She truly cherished and adored her many close and loyal friends, they all meant the world to her. Above all, Sadie loved her family and the Gospel of Jesus Christ with all her heart as both were a central part of her life.
Sadie lived her life to the fullest and was dearly loved by all of us whose lives she touched and made better because of her loving and kind spirit. We, as a family, are so grateful to our loving Father in Heaven who sent her to us and our Savior Jesus Christ who makes it possible for us to be together as a family again one day.
A Gathering of Friends will take place on Tuesday, February 16, 2016 with a viewing held from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Lindquist's Layton Mortuary, 1867 N. Fairfield Road.
Sadie will be remembered by her family and friends on Wednesday, February 17, 2016 beginning with a viewing from 9:30a.m. to 10:30 a.m. followed by her Memorial Services at 11a.m. taking place at the Mountain Shadows Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Kaysville, Utah. (615 North Flint Street)
Our family wishes to express loving gratitude to all of our dear friends and neighbors who have reached out with such tenderness and concern during this time of sorrow. In lieu of flowers, we ask that you please make donations to the General Missionary Fund of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in remembrance of our dear daughter and sister, Sadie.

My condolences to the Wells family, I couldn't help but cry every time I read about her, she's so beautiful and I know Heavenly Father wants her to complete missionary work in the other side of the veil.
My son is also serving in PPM and he heard so many good things about your daughter, though he didn't get the chance to meet her personally.
Thank you for your great example in dealing with your loss, you have strengthened more my faith and the truthfulness of the gospel of our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.

I just learned of Sadiaes passing. I did not know her, but as I am also a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Saints, we are technically sisters. Sadie is a loving daughter of our Father in Heaven and was dedicating her time to serving a mission. There is not a doubt in my soul that this beautiful young woman is with of loving Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father. He has a plan for all of us and we have to trust in that plan, even when it breaks our hearts. May all of Sadies friends, family and loved ones find peace and comfort in the atonement of Jesus Christ and the knowledge that we can live again with our loved ones.

Las experiencias nos afectan de diferente forma según las valoraciones particulares que nosotros les damos, hace unos días supe del accidente de unas misioneras y sentí un poco de dolor, ya que aprecio mucho a los misioneros y la muerte de una persona joven es la muerte de las esperanzas y los sueños de cosas que la persona deseaba hacer en su vida y que su familia quería apoyar y disfrutar, hoy me entero que esa joven era la nieta del presidente Harding, quien vino a mi patria a servir, no lo conocí personalmente, pero fui su sucesor en la Misión Cali, y el año pasado con la celebración tuvimos una pequeña relación cuando me pidieron que lo ayudara a localizar primero para que enviara su contribución, la que agradezco, y luego para enviarle la placa conmemorativa y el video, que según supe pudieron ver con sus misioneros en la reunión de octubre, tal vez no sea mucho, pero es lo suficiente para que la muerte de su querida nieta me afecte de una manera directa.
Claro que sabemos que está sellada a sus padres y abuelos, no la han perdido, les pertenece por la eternidad. Claro que sabemos que está en un lugar mejor que este y que está feliz. Pero no es lo que sabemos sino lo que sentimos, porque estoy seguro que sus padres deseaban sentarse a escuchar una y otra vez sus interminables historias de la misión, las lecciones aprendidas, las personas que conoció y los mil y mil detalles de su servicio. Es que sus padres querían contemplar sus hijitos y ver los destellos de los abuelos.
Sabemos y no dudamos, pero sentimos y porque sentimos lloramos, me uno a las lágrimas de padres, abuelos, tíos, primos y hermanos. No sólo su familia perdió, la humanidad perdió a un gran ser humano, pero seguiremos adelante y es nuestra esperanza que en los festivales de la eternidad podamos otra vez escuchar su voz y disfrutar de su presencia. Que su memoria perdure y que generaciones sepan su nombre y lo honren, tal y como merece.

Dear Wells Family,
As soon as I heard about your beautiful daughter, I knew she was a golden spirit whom the Lord loves dearly. There is a poem by Robert Frost entitled "Nothing Gold Can Stay." Almost 12 yrs ago, we lost our 19 yr old daughter in a car accident in Nine Mile Canyon. She wanted to go on a mission, and when Elder Gene R. Cook spoke at her funeral, he said that's exactly what she'll be doing. I would be happy to send you a copy of his talk which gave us much peace. We are so grateful for the plan of salvation and the sacrifice our dear Savior made which promises that we'll be together again as a family. May your hearts be encircled about by the arms of our Savior as life unfolds anew. Heavenly Father will be watching over her until we meet again at His feet. . . this I know!!!

I am so sorry for your loss. But then she really isn't lost is she? You know right where she is now. My own daughter died many years ago but it seems like only yesterday. The death of a child is the most painful thing a parent can experience. It hurts now but as time passes you will learn to live with it. I have placed your daughter's obituary on the Fallen Soldiers page of my website, which honors missionaries who have died in the line of duty. She is in good company.

Our hearts here in our central PA community are broken at the loss of your special daughter, whether member or not. After reading your statement about her loss and your concern for the bus driver and others, it's easy to see why she made such an impact on so many lives here. You should know that 3 days after the accident, one of the EMTs at the scene looked up our church building out in the country where a family "just happened to be cleaning" at what would otherwise have been an empty building at the time. He wanted to find out why such young girls would leave their families and come so far to teach about Jesus Christ. After finding out the meeting time, he came to Church on Sunday to the delight of the Ward. Your dear Sister Wells and the other 3 sweet missionaries in the car are still doing the work of the Lord.

We had the pleasure of meeting Sadie at our home and sharing a meal and many laughs and prayers with her. She was so special and charming. God created a beautiful spirit in Sadie and she had a glow around her. I remember commenting about her glow and when I saw the picture on the website she was glowing in the warmth of the sun. I am truly saddened by her loss. God Bless your family and I pray that her beauty and gentle spirit brightens all of your days. Joan Thomas, mother of JoAnn Booth

I am so sorry for your loss. Sadie is a beautiful daughter of God. So thankful to know she is now in the loving arms of her Heavenly Father, Savior and those who have gone before her. She worked with many missionaries and my son, Elder Jake Saylor was lucky enough to be one of them. He worked with her in Harrisburg and knew her well. He said she is an amazing missionary and he will miss her.

Sadie has affected the lives of countless individuals here in Pennsylvania. She was and continues to be on the Lord's errand. The whole region has been affected by her life and her sacrifice. Hearts will continue to be softened by her influence both here and in even greater numbers in her new field of labor. The PA Saints thank you with all of our hearts for raising such an amazing daughter and sister. Maisie, Olivia, and Bryton: we thank you. May the Lord encircle your family in the arms of His love.
