Wanda Sadler Obituary
Mrs. Wanda Christine Sadler, age 90, of Westmoreland, Tennessee, passed away in her home on Saturday, December 13, 2025.
Born on August 15, 1935, in Sumner County, Tennessee, Wanda spent her life in the service of others. She loved the Lord and was devoted to her family. Known as "Ma" to many, Wanda's greatest joys were caring for the many nieces, nephews, and neighborhood children and feeding everyone who entered her warm home. A cook, seamstress, gardener, canner, quilter, Ma, Granny, and so much more, Wanda will forever be in our hearts.
She is survived by her four children, Melvin (and Teresa) Sadler, Marilyn (and Ray) Reece, Janie (and Jerry) Long, and Judy (and Barry) Hawkins; four grandchildren, Christie (and Craig) Coates, Beth (and Travis) Callis, Shawn (and Michelle) Bowers, and Jerred (and Hannah) Long; a granddaughter-in-love, Donna Sadler; and six great-grandchildren, Michelle Sadler, Jeremy Sadler, Carissa Coates, Cailey Coates, Braden Callis, and Jenna Callis.
Wanda is preceded in death by her husband, James Allen Sadler; her parents, W.C. and Laura Simpson; her 9 siblings, James Simpson, Jr. Simpson, Leroy Simpson, Andrew Simpson, Bill Simpson, Charles Simpson, Bobby Simpson, Robert Simpson, and Dorothy Lee; and grandson, Michael Sadler.
