Helen Haddock , 1941

Helen Veronica Haddock Sadow died of kidney and congestive heart failure at 
her residence in Shreveport, LA, on Mar. 17, 2009. She was born Mar. 31, 1923 
in Wellesley, MA. She grew up in Needham, MA and suffered the tragic loss of 
her father Francis Oliver Haddock when he, a police officer for Needham, was 
shot and killed incident to a bank robbery, less than two months before her 
eleventh birthday.

A graduate of Sacred Heart High School of Newton, she subsequently became a 
registered nurse graduated by the Carney School of Nursing in 1944 and worked 
for the then-U.S. Public Health Service in locations as varied as New York 
City, Buffalo, and Savannah, GA. Returning to Needham in 1951, she worked in 
area hospitals while pursuing a B.S. in Nursing at Boston College, graduating 
in 1953 whereupon she enlisted in the U.S. Air Force. Stationed at Hamilton 
Air Force Base, San Francisco, she met and subsequently married on Veterans 
Day, 1955, Ronald Dennis Sadow.

After they were discharged from active duty, she worked in a variety of 
private sector nursing positions until about a year before the birth of her 
children. After they had departed for college she moved to Monroe, LA in 1985 
where she lived until 2008. There, she was an active parishioner of Jesus the 
Good Shepherd Catholic Church and member of the Newcomers Club. The last year 
of her life she lived in Shreveport. Throughout her life she loved reading and 
enjoyed contemplation about and discussion of subjects ranging from history to 
politics to literature to philosophy, although her favorites were religious 
history, philosophy, and theology.

She was predeceased by her husband of 49 years Ronald Dennis Sadow, her 
sisters Mary Florence Haddock Barnicle, Dorothy Frances Haddock Pratt, Phyllis 
Teresa Haddock Murphy; her mother Helen Frances Callanan Haddock; and her 
father Francis Oliver Haddock.

She is survived by her son Jeffrey Dennis Sadow and his wife Deshae Elizabeth 
Lott Sadow of Bossier City, LA and her son Jonathan Carl Sadow of Austin, TX.

In lieu of flowers, donations are recom-mended to the Cardinal Newman Society, 
9415 West Street, Manassas, VA 20110. A funeral mass will be celebrated for 
her at Jesus the Good Shepherd Catholic Church, 2510 Emerson St., Monroe, LA 
on Mar. 20 at 2:00 PM. Her family wishes to thank Harmony Life Hospice and
