BLAIN, Sadie Hannah née Pickel  –

April 20, 1921 – June 12, 2023

Sadie died peacefully, in her sleep, on June 12, at her residence at Amica on the Avenue in Toronto, in her 103rd year.

She was raised near Sussex, New Brunswick.

During World War II, she taught in one-room schools in rural New Brunswick. She met her husband Jack (John W.) Blain in Sussex during the war where he had been posted before going overseas.

They were married in 1946 in Toronto, and thereafter Sadie became a devoted wife, mother and homemaker.

She volunteered at the Crippled Children’s Centre in Toronto, and she was involved in parent organizations at her childrens’ schools.

Sadie loved flowers and flower arranging, and was actively involved in the Garden Club of Toronto. She was a long time member of Rosedale Golf Club. Sadie was predeceased by Jack, her husband of 49 years, in 1995.

She is survived by her son, Bruce Blain (Mary Lou), her son, Ian Blain (Carol), four grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. A private family funeral has taken place.

Please consider making a donation in Sadie’s memory to MS Canada or to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.

We would like to thank the management and staff at Amica for the loving care they provided to Sadie, particularly in the last several weeks of her life.
