Anne Sadi

Anne Sadi, longtime resident of North Platte, NE, went home to be with Jesus on Saturday, April 28, 2018, at the age of 100.

Anne was born September 19, 1917, to Don and Mamie (McGahan) Baker at Elsie, NE, where she grew up. She attended country school near her home and graduated from Elsie High School in 1933.

Anne went on to business college in Denver, CO, before settling in North Platte where she worked in the offices of local attorneys for many years. During World War II, Anne worked in the office which distributed ration vouchers for fuel and food to travelers passing through the area and later moved to Sidney, NE, to help set up offices for the armory at Fort Sidney. She eventually returned to North Platte and continued working in law firms which included attorneys Dent, Maupin, Kay, Satterfield, Beatty, Clark, Murphy, Morgan, Gatz, Girard, Gale and Scritsmier from 1952 to '81.

On May 22, 1950, Anne married Zeke J. Sadi at St. Patrick's Catholic Church and they continued to live in North Platte. She was an active member of St. Patrick's Parish, the Ladies of St. Patrick's and P.R. Halligan Post #163 American Legion Auxiliary. She gave out poppies each year for Remembrance Day until she was well into her 90's and volunteered at the Bargain Bin for 23 years before retiring from there at the age of 95. Anne's efforts were always well beyond what was expected of her.

She was quiet a person with a quick mind and sharp sense of humor. Anne loved life and found joy in children, beautiful flowers and animals, especially her friendly neighborhood birds, bunnies and squirrels. Over the past few years, Anne really enjoyed the care and friendship she received from Joe Mohr and Elena Ramos.

She will be dearly missed by her relatives, cousins, including Beth and Theresa McGahan, "son at heart" who looked out for her for many years, Joe Mohr and his family, Elena, Mario, Marissa, Christian and Derrek Ramos and Jessica, Danial, Brittany, Landon and Sophie Lawrence; along with her friends including Sister Jean Macke and Mary Pieper.

Anne was preceded in death by her husband, Zeke; parents, Don and Mamie Baker; brother and sister-in-law, James and Margaret "Markie" Baker; sister and brother-in-law, Mary "Edie" and Edmund Quinn; infant sister Alice; and good friend, Tina Mohr.

Service will be Friday, May 4, 2018, at St. Patrick's Catholic Church beginning with a Rosary Service at 10 a.m. followed by a Mass of Christian Burial with Celebrant Father Josh Brown at 11 a.m. Cremation will follow the mass. A private inurnment will be at a later date in the Elsie Cemetery.

Visitation is prior to services at the church. In lieu of flowers, memorials are to the Bargain Bin or St. Patrick's Church. Online condolences may be shared at odeanchapel.com. Odean Colonial Chapel at C & Sycamore is in charge of arrangements.
