Sadie has been involved in scouting since 1962. She held many District positions to include but not limited to; District Commissioner, Member-at-Large, Program Chairman, Activities Chairman, and Training Chairman for District and Council.

Her passion for scouting was ALWAYS for the youth. She especially enjoyed being a Den Leader and working with the younger boys. She was also Cubmaster and a Scout Trainer. She always lent a helping hand anyway she could. She loved camping on the weekends and found peace and solitude walking all the trails. She was involved with Pack 742 as a Committee Chairman and Den Leader.

She started Pack 716 Friendship Baptist Church. She has been a member of Venture Crew 711 for the last 10 years. She has held the positions of Committee Chairman, Charter Organization Representative, Associate Advisor and Trainer.

The family will receive friends at Friendship Baptist Church, 3232 Davis St in Hope Mills on Saturday, May 17th from 1 - 2pm. A funeral celebration will be held in the sanctuary immediately after the viewing and a graveside burial will follow at Lafayette Memorial Park West.

No words define the lessening of our lives without Sadie Jackson. No degree of loss dampens our sure and certain belief of her ascension into eternity with GOD and Jesus. Condolences may be left at pinecrestfuneralservice.com.
