Obituary taken from The City Island Current
Laura Sadler, a longtime Island resident, passed away after a long illness on Feb. 13, 2009. She was 89. She was born Laura Wiedeman in New Rochelle, New York, on Dec. 12, 1919, and
passed away at the Sadler family home in the same room in which her husband, Ed, was born nearly 93 years earlier. She married Captain Edward Sadler on Valentine’s Day 1945, and moved to City Island, where she began a lifelong journey of volunteerism, caring and compassion. In the 1940s she joined the Eastern Star organization and Trinity Methodist Church,
where she was instrumental in creating the Budget Shop, which still operates today. Her tireless work with the Ladies’ Auxiliary, Budget, Flowers and endless food tables made her an institution at Trinity. But her greatest legacy by far is her
compassion and commitment to those who were sick and lonely. Carrying food and other goodies, she would visit countless
shut-ins, hospitals and nursing homes several times a week, offering a friendly smile, a hand to hold and the thought that someone cared about them. She made sure these special people got the care they deserved. She did all of this while raising four children and several dogs.
She will be missed by her family, friends and the community she loved. She was predeceased by her daughter, Bonnie Lalli, who passed away in 1999. Mrs.Sadler is survived by her husband of 64 years, two sons, one daughter, a daughter in-law, nine grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Internment took place at Pelham Cemetery.
