PASS Tribute to Sadie Roberts-Joseph
Remember
“Miss Sadie was a leader and a woman of purpose. She was a woman who loved her community and dedicated her life to making our community better.”
“I’ve known and loved Miss Sadie for years and I really admired and respected her for her dedication to education and young people. She was an advocate for change. She was just a beam of light. A ray of hope. They tried to silence Miss Sadie, but her voice will continue to be strong through the countless people she’s touched. She’s gone, but her contributions to the community will never be forgotten.”
