Other jobs included Perry Brothers, DeWitt Hatchery, K-Mart, and Wal-Mart. Sadie loved to collect anything she could find, especially cookie jars! At the time of her passing, her home held between 200-300 cookie jars. Sadie never threw anything awayâ€"she even kept the hickory nuts that her grandsons picked up off the kindergarten playground to the candles off their birthday cakes. She loved her flowers and enjoyed cooking, sewing, and quilting, but more than anything she loved Jesus. She was a faithful member of Pleasant Hill Baptist Church. One of her favorite sayings was, "I love my Lord." Almost four years ago, R.J. went to be with Jesus. She longed to see him and be with Jesus since that time.
