Sadie Norita, was a lively and determined woman who loved being a productive and happy daughter of God. She was rarely idle, she had 8 children and a loving husband. Her happiness was in beauty and love! Her life was a long dance of music, gardening, baking, reading, loving worship of God, and all that is good. We learned early on that a loaf of homemade bread passed to a neighbor, was a great way to minister to others. The neighborhood loved her garden, she was out working and making sure everything was beautiful from early spring until the snow fell, being quite the taskmaster at times! She created beautiful vistas and little scenes of fairies and fun for all to see. She was so proud of her beautiful gardens, and passed that to all of us, her children, who also enjoy gardening and making our environment inviting and happy. Sadie also enjoyed looking for antiques and shopping with Dad, who loved to spoil her and, yes, she came home from those trips with lots of treasures. Her other talents involved needlework in many capacities. Making clothing, stuffed dolls and animals, quilts, quilted wallhangings, and beautiful applique and wool work. One of her Christmas wall hangings was sold at auction for an LDS hospital fund raiser resulting in a significant contribution. Mom is a perfectionist that we can\t keep up with! Now, without her physical ailments to make her rest, she\ll be asking Jesus, "What can I do next?" and without hesitation get to work!

Her core happiness, of course, was based on her love for Heavenly Father and our Savior. Showing that love, she served in the Salt Lake Temple for 15 yrs as an ordinance worker alongside her beloved husband. She loved that opportunity! Happily she memorized what was needed, carried heavy bridal dresses, and was complimented regularly on acting the part of Eve. She read scriptures every day as soon as she got up, sitting in bed or in a chair by the window, feeding herself with words of holiness and encouragement. She tried every day of her life to be a good person worthy to enter into God\s kingdom at the highest glory.

Sadie is survived by her husband, Darrell O. Natter, Her 8 children, Ruth Anne Mallery (Steve Mallery) Deborah Lee Cotton (John Cotton) Rebekah Hepworth, Phoebe Lynn Greene (Jeff Greene) O. Condon Natter, (Harriet Natter) Heber Scott Natter, Gini Sue Natter, and Beorn Darrell Natter.

She has 16 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.

Preceded in Death by her parents, 2 brothers, Revice Glen Scott, and DeGraffenried (Dee) Scott and 2 grandchildren, Sean and Andrea Houskeeper, children of Rebekah Hepworth.
