SARAH PARKER McCREADIE MILROY (SADIE) FETTERLEY Owner of Fetterley's Garage in Kearney for the last sixty years, in her 84th year, passed peacefully on September 6th, 2008 after a courageous battle with cancer, with her family at her side. Much loved wife of the late Charles Albert Fetterley. Predeceased by her son Rockland David and her only brother James Milroy. Loving mother of Thelma Tamaki (Art), Jim Fetterley, Debbie Branch (Ken), David Fetterley (Jenny), and Heather Pateman (Gary). Special grandmother to Lisa (Steve), Julie (Jeff), Jenna, Leah, Kyle, Erika and Rachel. Fondly remembered by her sisters-in-law Edith Flood, Annie Murdy, Audrey Wilson and their families and the families of the late Irene and Clyde Murdy and Bill and Jean Fetterley. Born in Shotts, Lanarkshire, Scotland, Mum met Dad when she delivered eggs to the house where he was billeted while on leave during the Second World War. Mum and Dad were married at the end of the war and she immigrated to Canada, arriving at Pier 21 in Halifax in 1946. After a year in Huntsville, they moved to Kearney. While caring for and nurturing her family was her first priority, Mum believed that life should also be spent in service to others, to give more than you received. She was a member of Kearney's Council and many of its sub-committees for the last 5 years, past Worthy Matron of the Order of the Eastern Star, past member of the Women's Institute and Timberline Squares Dance Club. Mum participated in too many community events to count. Even during her recent illness, she organized the Belated Robbie Burns night, as part of the Town of Kearney Centennial festivities, ably assisted by her children, nieces and nephews. For her achievements, in 2008, she received the Senior of the Year Award for the Province of Ontario, from the Lieutenant Governor, David Onley. She was special to all who had met her. To our extended family, friends and neighbours both here and in Scotland your support over the last few months will never be forgotten. Visitation will be at the Opatovsky Funeral Home - Dempster Chapel in Burk's Falls on Tuesday, September 9th, 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. The funeral will be Wednesday, September 10th at 11 a.m. at the Kearney Community Centre. In keeping with Mum's acts of selfless community service, donations to Kearney Centennial Projects or the Kearney Lions Park would be greatly appreciated by the family.
