Sadie E Yates

Sadie Erica Yates,15. She was taken from us February 3, 2013 in a terrible accident in McRae Georgia. She was born November 10, 1997 at St. Vincent’s Hospital in Jacksonville Florida. Our hearts will forever be imprinted with our wonderful Angel.

Sadie was in Girl Scouts as a young girl and grew so much from that here in Jacksonville where she attended grades K – 8th. As she grew in mind and spirit we as a family decided she needed new growth in other areas that Jacksonville could not offer here in Duval County. We took a leap of faith and moved to McRae Georgia where she attended Telfair County High School (TCHS). She immediately fell in love with the area and all the folks she came in contact with. She had many friends at school and decided to become active and joined Literary and Creative Arts Club at (TCHS). Sadie was always creative and had done summer camps Art and Dance in her past so this was the perfect club for her. Her plan was to graduate with honors and go to SCADS in Savannah Georgia. She wanted to get a degree in production and directing. Her plan was in motion, she had already been named in the McRae Enterprise with Honors and Merit this past semester. She was always family first and as she quoted many time “The greatest of all is Love”. She lived those words in her everyday life. She would be the first to lend a hand or help out whatever was needed in any situation. She knew how fortunate she was and would share anything she had with those who needed it. Her heart was genuinely full of love and she would share that with anyone who would let her.

She is survived by her parents Steven Eric and Susan Norris Yates, her Grandparents Glenn & Charlene Yates, Two brothers with their wives Joseph & Amber, Matthew & Angela Castelvecchi. She had four uncles (Rick, Barry, Jeff and Joel); six aunts (Polly, Crystal, Debra, Edwena, Kelley and Angie), one nephew (JJ), five nieces (Mackenzie, Karissa, Lindsey, Haley and Shelby.) She had numerous great aunts & uncles, along with many cousins. So many dear friends she had made along the way that she cherish everyday. She also has two dogs Holly & Dolly that she was sure the sun rose and set in these two little girls.

A celebration of Sadie’s life will be held Sunday February 10, 2013, at 1 PM at Hardage-Giddens Funeral Home, 729 S. Edgewood Ave, Jacksonville. Friends may call after 12 Noon.
