Jacqueline “Jackie” Sadler, 75 of Mechanicsville, Iowa, died Sunday, January 11, 2026 at Oldorf Mercy Hospice in Hiawatha, Iowa, surrounded by her family.

Born in Waterloo, Iowa, on April 22, 1950, Jacqueline Kay Sadler is the daughter of Rosalind B. (Bigelow) and Raymond Edward Brown. In 1968, she graduated from Starmont High School in Arlington, Iowa. She began working at Wilson's after graduating, which then shifted to Farmstead in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where she remained for 25 years until it closed. After that, she started working for Lebeda, where she occasionally drove a semi. She met the love of her life, Paul Leo Sadler, and they were united in marriage at the Lamont Methodist Church on April 11, 1970. Four boys—Chad, Jack, Larry, and Robert—were born to this union. For almost thirty years, they lived near Anamosa, Iowa.

Jackie loved spending time with her family and friends, gardening, fishing, bowling, playing canasta, and being with her grandchildren. She enjoyed taking excursions up to see her sister Dee and her children (the dogs), as well as traveling to meet friends. She loved her pets and her dog, Mitsy.

Jackie is survived by her sons Chad (Kerri) Hopkinton, Iowa, Jack Mechanicsville, Iowa, Larry (Katie) Dyersville, Iowa, Robert (Jessica) West Union, Iowa; 8 grandkids, and 1 great-grandchild. She was preceded in death by Paul.
