January 15, 1933 - April 16, 2021

Florence D. Sadowski passed on to her eternal home on April 16, 2021 at the age of 88. She was born on January 15, 1933 in Cleveland. She resided in the Cleveland area for most of her life and later moved to Copley. She was a devoted parishioner of the Catholic Church and attended St Monica’s in Garfield Heights. The matriarch of an extensive and loving family, her absence will be felt dearly in the hearts of many. She is preceded in death by her parents Charles and Anna Kriak, her husband Joseph Sadowski, her siblings Helen Basak, Charles Kriak, George Kriak, and her grandson Gary Walkuski. She is survived by her five children, Victoria (Gary) Walkuski, Mark (LuAnn) Sadowski, Joseph (Veronica) Sadowski, David (Connie) Sadowski, Susan (Michael) Case, 15 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, and many beloved nieces and nephews. Flo was a woman of humble beginnings who, through perseverance and devotion, provided a wonderful life for her family. She worked hard and found joy in accomplishment. Through love and nurturing, she wove seeds of herself into all she knew. An accomplished seamstress who sewed everything from her daughter’s wedding dress to pajamas for charity, she cloaked others in the work of her own hands. She and her sister traveled extensively desiring to see and understand the world her Lord had given. She was an artist of nature, renowned for gardens where she combined both knowledge and inspiration to create beauty. She lived well and in death was willing and eager to meet her eternal Father. May we all be so fortunate.
