Sadie Prattini

She was born August 26, 1941 in Lafayette, Louisiana to Parents Helen Pellerin and Omar Stutes. After high school, she moved to New Orleans where she would work as a secretary for the Director of Player Personnel of The New Orleans Saints during the team's founding year, as well as a fragrance model at Dillard's and Macy's Department Stores.

She was preceded in death by her mother Helen Corley (Pellerin), father Omar Stutes, step-father O.B. Corley, adopted father George Gozan, and sister Flora Ann Hoffpauir (Stutes). Sadie leaves behind her companion of twenty-three years, Denny Miller of Kenner, Louisiana; nieces Debbie A. Chirillo of Fort Worth, Texas and Denise M. Stutes of Lafayette, Louisiana; nephew Patrick H. Hoffpauir Jr. of Lafayette, Louisiana, and the countless number of people in her community whose lives were touched by her presence.

Sadie loved everyone and was loved by everyone in return. She will be remembered for the way that she lit up the room with her wonderful personality and smile. She thoroughly enjoyed socializing and dining out at a variety of local restaurants several times per week, with a particular affinity for Austin's Seafood & Steakhouse on W. Esplanade Avenue in Metairie.
