Sadie Lee Cullen's Obituary
Sadie Lee Cullen (Priest), 88, of Mount Airy, passed away peacefully on April 24, 2025, at home
with her family by her side. She was predeceased by her husband, Lewis A. Cullen, Jr in 2016.
Born in North Carolina, she was the daughter of the late Neil Priest and Swannie Louise Priest
(Grimsley). Sadie was a housewife and loved nothing more than taking care of and spending
time with her family. She liked to garden and volunteered at school and church when she was
younger. Sadie loved going to yard sales, flea markets and antique shops on the weekends
with her husband. Or just “piddling around” as she would call it. In recent years her son, Andy,
was her caregiver. He took great care of her and she loved looking at his photography of places
he had been to out west and of the flowers and birds in their yard.
Sadie is survived by four children, Lewis A. Cullen, III & wife Darla, Andrew Cullen, Judith Naill
& husband Curtis, Kathleen DuBard & husband Derek; four grandchildren, Jaclyn Watts &
Kenny, Emily Deutsch & Joey, Logan Beverly, Lucas Cullen & Paige; two great grandsons,
Gavin Deutsch & Beau Watts; two great granddaughters Reese Deutsch & Lilith Cullen; and
many nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and other relatives. She is predeceased by two
brothers.
The viewing will take place at Resthaven Funeral Home on Wednesday, April 30, from 11am-12pm. The funeral service will be held from 12pm-1pm, with the burial to follow.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Sadie’s memory may be made to Frederick Health Hospice
