"Be a positive energy trampoline – absorb what you need and rebound more back." — Dave Carolan

Sarah Marietta Griffiths Ennis—affectionately known to many as Aunt Sadie—passed peacefully away at the Placentia Health Center on December 14, 2023 after a short battle with cancer. 

Predeceased by her husband John Lou Ennis; parents James and Mary (Quirk) Griffiths; brothers Bill Hayward (Rose), John (Mary), Gerry (his first wife Margaret  and second wife Emma), Ray, Bob (Diane); sisters Anne (Don) and Marietta; nephew Ron Griffiths; and nieces Marietta Griffiths and Carol Dalton. 

Leaving to mourn are her nieces and nephews, The Ennis family, Mary, Jean, Carmel (Bill), John, Liz, Joseph (Carmen), Ernie (Leah); sister-in-law Marion; brothers-in-law Mark Cole, and Everet Bennington; her special friends Beth and Dan Greene; Godson Michael Collins; as well as a large circle of family and friends.

Sadie touched so many lives and she was loved by all who had the pleasure of her friendship. Sadie devoted her life to others whether it was her family, her friends, the choir, the Girl Guides, or volunteering whenever needed. She was someone you could always count on to lend a helping hand.  

Sadie had a passion for genealogy and was always willing to share her research of the family history with anyone wanting to add to their own research. She loved music, painting, and crafting. She wrote a book with John Lou and enjoyed sharing her many talents with others.  

We were very blessed to have such a wonderful influence in our lives for so many years. She taught each and everyone of us so much and made everyone feel special to her.   

Special thanks to the amazing staff at the Beachside Manor and the Placentia Health Center for their compassion and care.   

Sadie was a faithful blood donor well into her 70’s and the family would like to encourage anyone who can to please take the time to donate in honor of this wonderful lady.
