Jane Sadowsky

Sorry for you loss Frank and Jane Szelewicki

Jane was my Catechism teacher at St. Staislause Church. Jane was a kind and nurturing soul whose gentle guidance provided a steady example of how to lead with kindness and grace. The warmth she shared will be carried in my heart forever.

Mrs. Sadowsky was my teacher at Old Deerfield Elementary and my son had her as a substitute at Frontier. Whenever I saw her in town, it was like stepping back in time; she had the best memory and always remembered her students and their lives. She influenced many of us to go on and become teachers ourselves. She will be missed.

I was one of the many teachers Jane subbed for at Frontier. She would bring treats for the kids and often leave a small gift on our desks. When I heard of her passing I filled a basket with candy and brought it to school to pass out in her memory. As I shared the sad news and candy with my colleagues their immediate response was either " she was so sweet " or " she was so kind ". Jane made the world kinder and brighter. I will miss her smile and her quiet way.

Jane and I became friends and prayer partners after she made her Cursillo in 2024. I always knew that no matter what I was going through, that Jane was praying for me and I for her. Keep praying for me, Jane. And I will continue to pray for your family. Thank you for sharing your great faith with me and all who knew you. DeColores! Rose Stella

Don and family, my sincere sympathy in the loss of Jane. She will be missed at Holy Family Parish. Rest in the peace of Christ, Jane

Mrs Sadowsky was the first of May beloved teachers in Deerfield. She was always calm and caring - and her class felt like high expectations with low stress- maybe the last time I felt that! As an educator now I often think of her and attempt to emulate her presence. I hope her family knows that almost 41 years later, her impact is felt. Rest in peace Mrs Sadowsky.

Mrs. Sadowsky was my 3rd and 6th grade teacher at the Old Deerfield Grammar School. She taught me to be curious about the world and made me feel special, smart, and confident. That was a wonderful gift for a shy kid. I am a teacher now, and I try to do the same for my students. That's her beautiful legacy!

My condolences to Janie´s family. One song comes to mind that describes Janie, Hail, Mary, Gentle Woman. Janie had a heart of gold, so caring & loving. An angel here on earth. She was a dear friend.
