Alida D. Sadowski of Unionville, NY, died peacefully on January 6, 2022 at the Ellenville Hospital, Ellenville, NY after a short illness.  She was 88.

 

Alida was born and raised in Unionville, NY to parents Alida and Chalen Kithcart on December 8, 1933, the youngest of eight children.  She married the love of her life Edward Sadowski in August 1952 and raised 3 children.  Her children were her pride and joy and loved spending time with them, along with the grandchildren and great grandchildren that came along.  She loved doing puzzles, gardening, crocheting, cooking for her family, and traveling.  She often spoke of the great joy of seeing the sights of the country with her husband, and in her later years with her companion, Charles Gratz.  She was very independent, and after her husband died, thought nothing of getting in her car and going on a road trip to visit friends and family.  She was a hard worker and worked several jobs, including American Silk Label, and Horler’s General Store, both in Unionville, NY and at Mohawk Lumber and at the A&P in Sussex, NJ where she has remained friends with some of her co-workers.

 

Alida was predeceased by her husband Edward, daughter, Diane Hawkes, daughter, Sandra Beamer, son-in-law, Roger Ford and four brothers and two sisters.
