She also leaves behind ten great-grandchildren who brought immense joy to her life.

Sadie was predeceased by her parents, Dominick and Arcangela Carlucci, and her siblings Lillian Fisher, Jacqueline Metzler, and Joseph Carlucci.

A devout Catholic, Sadie was known for her deep faith and strong moral values. Her love for cooking brought joy to many, especially during large family gatherings. She had a fondness for traveling to various destinations across the United States and enjoyed fun trips to Atlantic City.
