She is also survived by her sister, Dora Carter, and brother, Randy Carter (Barbara), along with several nieces and nephews.
Sadie owned and operated Sadie’s Place, a beloved local bar where she poured not just drinks but her heart, making everyone who walked in feel like family. Her passions extended beyond her career as she cultivated beauty in her garden, hunted for treasures at yard sales, and expressed her love through cooking and spending time with her family.
