Jane (Sadie) Hamad

Akron - Jane Hamad, 101, of Akron passed away on January 7, 2025 surrounded by her family. She served God, her church, her family and taught us by her good example. She was a devout member of Our Lady of the Cedars Maronite Catholic Church and Ladies Guild. She spent many years working bingo at the church, and cooking for festivals and card parties. Her church family was an integral part of her life.

Jane and her husband Harry owned Hamad's Bar and Café on South Main Street for 35 years. She was an excellent cook and worked hard in the kitchen.

In her leisure time Jane enjoyed bowling, playing bingo and cards. She was a great athlete and stayed in shape by walking two miles daily, rain or shine, well into her 90's.

Her favorite times were spent with her grandkids, great grandkids, and great nieces and nephews.
