Mary Francis (Darnell) Sadler

Mary Francis (Darnell) Sadler of Bedford, Texas left this life to be with our Lord on April 18, 2020. Services will be in Sherman, Texas. Due to COVID 19, the services will be at a future date when out of town family can freely travel and attend. Mary was born on June 16, 1929 in Sherman, Texas. She was a long time member of Key Memorial Methodist Church in Sherman. She loved her family, home, and many friends, and they loved her back. During her life, Mary was a telephone operator, an employee of IRS, a wonderful homemaker, a creative artist, and a sharp, highly competitive bridge player. The wife of a WWII veteran and Commissioned Officer of the Public Health Service, Mary called multiple cities and states home. She returned to Texas with her husband where he retired. In Texas, she called Austin, Sherman, and Bedford home. Mary was known to many by her sweet smile, and we will miss her greatly. She is preceded in death by her husband, Jack Wayne Sadler, her parents Jennings (Jinks) Darnell and Ruth (Bowden) Darnell, and her son William Sadler. Survivors are her brother, Bobby (B.J.) Darnell of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, daughter, Sharon (Sadler) Kuykendall and her husband Samuel of Bedford, Texas, her three granddaughters Melissa Sadler and her husband Rudy Vera of Seguin, Texas, Sarah (Kuykendall) Butler and her husband Chris of Denver, Colorado, Sydney (Kuykendall) Donovan and her husband Clay of Denver, Colorado, her three great grandchildren Brandon Sadler, Joshua Butler, and Ethan Butler, and a loving extended family.
