This page is dedicated to my maternal grandmother
Beatrice Elizabeth Sadler Fisher
September 24, 1918 - January 8, 2010
Grandma as a girl, not sure where the picture was taken
And another
And another, this is taken at her family home
This is the house she grew up in
Another shot of the Sadler farm
This is a picture of her father at their farm, Johnston Sadler
He married Mary Emma Craig, no pictures of her yet
Beatrice, her father Johnston and her sister Lola
Grandma's brothers and sisters
I can only identify Grandma and Grandpa (Herb and Bea) and Lola in the front
Grandma's brothers and sisters
Wilbert, Orval, Milburn, Percy, Edwin, Gordon, Lola and Beatrice
Beatrice and Lola
This is how I remember my Grandmother, smiling
Grandma and her daughters, she was happiest when surrounded by family
Jean, Marlyn, Susan, Deb, Barb, Rita and Joan
Grandma's smile again
Leslie sent me this picture, it seems this is how we all remember her
As well as raising eleven hooligans, I mean children
Grandma made beautiful quilts
I remember her quilting frame out in the sitting room with her latest work in progress
Marlyn and her husband Donny holding one of the quilts
My grandmother was also famous for her bread.
I can remember the kitchen table covered in bread rising in all manner of baking pans.
I wish I had a picture of that.
She made all kinds of preserves, jams and jellies.
Her crab apple jelly inspired me to try and make my own and the rest is history.
I like to think she would have been thrilled to be the subject of all of this,
but she wouldn't have understood all the fuss.
It was just what she did, nothing special.
She would have loved the family pictures though.
The farm where Grandma and Grandpa retired to.
She loved watching the birds from that picture window.
One final picture of her smiling
"If you eat a little of the main course, you can have a little dessert"
Grandma, I have been eating lots of both LOL
and made from a lot of your recipes.
I miss you terribly.
