Sadie Mae Barrett

She was born April 10, 1936, in Nacogdoches County, Texas, to parents Jessie Thomas Randall and Bessie Arby Berryhill Randall. Mrs. Barrett was a lifelong area.

On April 2, 1955, she married the love of her life, R.J. Barrett. He preceded her in death on August 5, 2013. She started working at McCrory’s in her early life. Other jobs included Perry Brothers, DeWitt Hatchery, K-Mart, and Wal*Mart.

Sadie loved to collect anything she could find, especially cookie jars! At the time of her passing, her home held between 200-300 cookie jars. Sadie never threw anything away—she even kept the hickory nuts that her grandsons picked up off the kindergarten playground to the candles off their birthday cakes.

She loved her flowers and enjoyed cooking, sewing, and quilting, but more than anything she loved Jesus. She was a faithful member of Pleasant Hill Baptist Church. One of her favorite sayings was, “I love my Lord.”

Almost four years ago, R.J. went to be with Jesus. She longed to see him and be with Jesus since that time. She was the greatest Mom, Mamaw, and Great-Grandma on earth.

In addition to R.J., she was preceded in death by her parents.

Her survivors include her children, Sherry Faulkner of Nacogdoches, Texas, Kenny Barrett and wife Becky of Melrose, Texas, Glenda Cantu and husband Edward of Lake Nacogdoches, Texas, and Bones Barrett and wife LIz of Nacogdoches, Texas; a sister, Betty Herrick of Lufkin, Texas; brothers, Charles Randall and wife Alice Joy of Nacogdoches, Texas, and Thomas Randall and wife Nancy of Martinsville, Texas; nine grandchildren; and 12 great-grandchildren.
