ANDREW,
Sadie (née
COLEMAN)
On Saturday, May 17th, 2008, after a mercifully short and remarkably
stoic battle with cancer, Sadie passed away peacefully. She was
the adored wife of Archie for almost 64 years; loving mother
to Don (Barbara Ann), Brian (Sylvie) and Barbara; and a irrepressible
grandmother to Benjamin, Samuel, Jessica and Ross. Sister to
Jim COLEMAN of Bangor, N. Ireland (deceased,) Betty
McCONNELL
of Halifax, Nova Scotia, and June
PIDUTTI of Pignano, Italy.
Sadie was born and raised in Belfast, Northern Ireland. During
the war she was a sergeant in the Auxiliary Territorial Service,
the women's branch of the British Army. She and Archie had a
wartime romance and wedding; five days later, he was on a troop
ship to Bombay. Not to be outdone, Sadie volunteered for overseas
service and finished out the war in Egypt and Kenya. After the
war, with Don only a year old, she joined Archie for new adventures
in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). They spent 15 years in that
beautiful country and Brian and Barbara were born there. With
civil war looming, the intrepid pair left Africa and moved to
Canada; first to Montreal and then Mississauga, where they have
lived for the past 43 years. Sadie worked for many years as a
secretary with the Peel Board of Education, running her school
with trademark efficiency and good humour. Sadie was happiest
when surrounded by family and Friends. She always liked 'something
going on' and adored getting together for fun and conversation.
She was an expert teller of tales and her quick wit usually left
her listeners helpless with laughter. The lights shone brighter
when Sadie was around. A special thanks to the exceptional staff
at Beechwood Court and Beechwood Place for their extraordinary
care and compassion. The concern, respect and heartfelt feelings
they displayed to Sadie and her family leavened this difficult
journey. Cremation has taken place. A celebration of her life
will take place at 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 25, 2008 at Applewood
United Church, 2067 Stanfield Road, Mississauga, Ontario. Reception
follows at the church. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made
to the Canadian Cancer Society.
