  Sackett Cards Ace
  Pete Sackett is a cool and collected golfer, almost.
  The Amherst resident, playing in the Elyria City League at Cherry Ridge Country Club last night, walked off the par three No. 3 hole and calmly stuck up one finger to his partners.
  He had scored the first hole-in-one of his links career, using nine-iron on the 130-yard hole.
  Without the usual hollering and excitement, he treated his playing mates after the game and went home, seemingly unaffected by the entire event.
  Upon reaching home, however, the building contractor couldn't find his clubs. A call to the country club revealed he had left them standing in the parking lot – cart and all.
  Who wasn't excited?

• Pittsburgh Post Gazette, PA, 29 Nov 2020
  Frances "Nancy" Sackett, of Collier Township, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, November 25, 2020. She was 95 years old - and what an amazing, rich 95 years they were!
  Nancy was born in Fort Pitt in 1925. Sadly, she was raised in foster care in what is now called South Side Slopes from age 5 to 17, then lived with an aunt and uncle in Glendale, Scott Township. She graduated from Clark High School in 1944, and from the Mercy School of Nursing in 1948. Nancy worked at the VA Hospital in Aspinwall until her marriage in 1956. When she and her husband separated, she went to work at Shadyside Hospital to support herself and her son. She eventually returned to the VA, working at their Oakland hospital for the rest of her career. Her energy and determination were boundless during the years she raised her son. She worked full-time, took care of household chores and cooked actual home-made dinners. She really appreciated the relaxed conversation over those dinners after a long day. Her love and devotion for her son were endless, right up to her last day. Her son didn't always necessarily reflect his good upbringing, but Nancy gets credit for doing an excellent job nonetheless. Nancy was loved by many for her intelligence, interesting conversations, sense of humor and infectious laugh. She was admired for her personal strength and resourcefulness. The world is a better place for her having been here, and she will be sorely missed. "So long for now!"
  She is survived by her son, Leroy "Lee" Sackett, numerous nieces, nephews and cousins, and many, many friends spanning several generations.
  She was preceded in death by her parents, Arthur Minton and Julia Kaczmarczyk Barnovich; stepfather, Anthony Barnovich; her brother Bill and sister Lil; and her beautiful dogs, Daisy and Rusty.
  She was the last surviving member of both her high school class and her class at nursing school.
  Arrangements have been entrusted to the Szafranski-Eberlein Funeral Home, Inc., where family and friends will be received on Saturday, December 5, 2020, from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at 101 Third St., Carnegie. A blessing service will be held at 1:30 p.m. following the visitation. Frances will be laid to rest in Jefferson Memorial Park Cemetery. Masks are required for the visitation, blessing service and burial.

  Schieber: Remembering my teacher, Mr. Sackett
  Daniel P. Sackett (Communication ’78 ’79), revered English teacher, theater director and speech team coach at Carl Sandburg High School, died Dec. 8, 2023. Beloved husband for 47 years to Lynda Miles, he was a father, grandfather, brother, son, uncle, mentor, coach and friend. He is already missed by so many. He was 67 years old.
  Mr. Sackett taught at Carl Sandburg High School in Orland Park, Illinois, for 33 years, from 1983 until his retirement in 2016. At Sandburg, Mr. Sackett taught his English students how to write with a voice. Mr. Sackett taught his drama students how to act with ardor. Mr. Sackett taught his speech students to speak with precision. Mr. Sackett taught every one of his students that they have worth. Mr. Sackett taught.
  The impact Mr. Sackett had on his students was determined. Mr. Sackett insisted you saw value in yourself, even if you yourself didn’t see any yet. Mr. Sackett laughed at the absurd, even when the other adults in the room held a straight face. Mr. Sackett was incisive, and knew exactly how powerful his words were. And he wielded his words with so much love. There is currently a memorial page on Facebook where Mr. Sackett’s former students, friends and colleagues are sharing their memories, and the outpouring of love and grief makes it so clear what a life Mr. Sackett lived.
  I know all of this because I was one of Mr. Sackett’s students. My life’s trajectory changed when I met him. He was my freshman year English teacher, speech coach and biggest cheerleader at Carl Sandburg High School. During my time on the Sandburg speech team under his mentorship, I learned how to speak in front of large groups without fear; I learned how to stand up and make a point when it seems no one else is willing to; I learned how to set my sights on something big and to just keep chipping away until I get there. I learned how to write! I owe so much to Mr. Sackett. I found passion, self-worth and confidence because I had him in my corner.
  I now see a direct link between Mr. Sackett’s lessons and the life I have led since. I teach some of the largest courses at Northwestern University with thousands of undergraduates having taken my classes. I regularly give talks on my research, and I can hold my own in any room I’ve ever found myself in.
  My wife Kathleen, who I met on the Carl Sandburg High School Speech team, and I recently celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary with our 9-year-old son Elias and 7-year-old daughter Anna. My and Kathleen’s first kiss was on a bus ride coming back from a speech tournament at Downers Grove South High School. Mr. Sackett would joke that Elias and Anna were his speech grand-babies.
  As an Assistant Professor of Instruction at Northwestern, I now have students who I get to watch as I build up their confidence and worth in the same way Mr. Sackett built up mine. Mr. Sackett taught me so much, and I try every day to be more like him. I am crying writing this obituary.
  After graduating from Northwestern University in 1978, having majored in theatre, Daniel P. Sackett led a life worth following. He went on to build educators, inspire screenwriters, produce leaders, mentor musicians, train scientists, shape poets, create at least one sociologist and bring joy to those around him.
  To my students: Never underestimate the impact you have on the people around you. Ripples turn into waves. Your impact is profound.
  To Mr. Sackett: Thank you so, so much. From the tip of my toes to the top of my head, I’m alive! And darn it, I’m a winner!

  Jon Sackett
  Jon Sackett, 69, of Lorain, passed away peacefully at his home, with his loving wife and faithful dog, 'Annie' by his side, on Thursday, January 11, 2024. He fought a valiant battle with numerous illnesses for eight years.
  He was born June 12, 1954 in Amherst, grew up in South Amherst and proudly graduated from South Amherst High School in 1972. After high school he attended Lorain County Community College. Then, later in life, at the age of 50, he attended Youngstown State where he ended up earning his Bachelor's Degree. The love story between him and Penny, beginning when they met as an EMT and nurse, is heartwarming. Their adventures from Texas to Washington, and finally back to Lorain in 1997, showcase a life well-lived and shared.
  His career choices, starting as an EMT and later with Vision Quest, reveal a deep sense of purpose. Jon's passion for working with troubled youth and his wagon train journeys to expose them to the better parts of life, reflect his caring and nurturing nature. He was working for the Ottawa County Juvenile Court and then the Boys & Girls Club, becoming a mentor and counselor which further emphasizes his dedication to helping others.
  Jon's love for his wife, Penny, and his devotion to animals, especially his dog, 'Annie' speaks volumes about his kind and compassionate heart. His connection with nature, whether tending to his vegetable garden or finding joy in watching and feeding birds, highlights a profound appreciation for the simple pleasures in life.
  In commemorating Jon Sackett's life, it's evident that he touched the lives of many through his kindness, mentorship, and love for both people and animals. May his memory be a source of comfort and inspiration for those who knew and loved him.
  He will be dearly missed by his wife, Penelope 'Penny' (nee Keron) and his beloved dog, 'Annie.'
  He is preceded in death by his parents, Peter and Margaret (nee Bogardy) Sackett; and a brother, Chris Sackett.
  The family will receive friends Tuesday, January 16, 2024 from 5 to 7 p.m. in Dovin & Reber Jones Funeral & Cremation Center, 1110 Cooper Foster Park Road, Amherst.
  In lieu of flowers, and to memorialize Jon's love of animals, the family suggests making a donation to the Friendship Animal Protective League, 8303 Murray Ridge Road, Elyria, OH 44035.

  Egypt Farmer Hit By R., S. & E. Car
  Said to Have Been Staggering Along the Track.
  Fairport, April 30.—Fred Sackett, 55 years old, an Egypt farmer, was struck by a Rochester, Syracuse & Eastern car at a point between stops 19 and 20 this afternoon and almost instantly killed. The car was stopped and members of the train crew went back to investigate. They found the man dead with his head badly crushed by contact with the front of the car.
  Coroner Killip was notified, and ordered the remains brought to this village. The motorman told the coroner that when he first saw Sackett he was staggering ahead of the car in an apparently intoxicated state. He staggered off the tracks, after a warning whistle had been sounded, but just as the car was about to pass him he stumbled and fell over upon the tracks. The car threw him to one side. The coroner will hold an inquest.

  Beverly “Bev” Sackett Hallett
  Beverly “Bev” Sackett Hallett was born Aug. 28, 1948, at Highland Hospital in Rochester, New York. Her beautiful life ended at the same location on July 24, 2023, at the age of 74, following complications from the cancer she fiercely battled on and off for nearly 12 years. She is survived by her devoted husband of 54 years, Michael; her children, Chad (Amy) and Carrie (Michael Paris); her grandchildren, Fisher, Will and Senna; her brother, Raymond Sackett (Donna); her sister, Sue Kretchmer; and many loving brothers- and sisters-in-law, cousins, and nieces and nephews on both the Sackett and Hallett sides of the family.
  She is predeceased by her parents, Herman and Mildred Sackett of South Lima, N.Y.; her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Wilton and Dorothy Hallett of Caledonia, N.Y.; and her brother-in-law, Jim Kretchmer of Conesus, N.Y.
  Bev graduated from Livonia Central School and started her career with the Rochester Telephone Company. Bev and Mike were married on June 14, 1969, and built their home on Dutch Hollow Road in Avon, N.Y., where they raised their children and became active members of their community.
  While their kids were young, Bev provided support and assistance to Mike and his trucking business. Later, she returned to working outside of the home and worked for XLM/Hon Industries; Essex Investments; and lastly, Bryant and Stratton, where she was a receptionist/friend of everyone who walked in the door. She retired in 2014, allowing more time for her passions.
  Bev was a devoted gardener, reader, and most importantly, a friend. She was always available for a call or visit, made connections easily and readily with everyone she met, and like her gardens, cherished and nurtured her life-long friendships. She enjoyed Friday-night suppers with her friends and family, as well as breakfast gatherings with the ladies of Dutch Hollow Road and former colleagues.
  A special thank you goes out to all our friends and neighbors who have been behind the scenes supporting the family. Additionally, we are extremely thankful to the medical teams that provided her with care and support during her nearly 12-year cancer battle: Dr. Balaji and the Avon Medical Group, UR Gynecologic Oncology (Lattimore), the Highland Hospital Infusion Center; and the staff at 5 East of Highland Hospital.
  A celebration of Bev’s beautiful life will take place on Friday, Aug. 4 at 11 a.m. at First Presbyterian Church of East Avon, 5605 East Avon-Lima Road, Avon, N.Y., with a reception following at Willow Creek, 3100 Rochester Rd., Lakeville, N.Y.

  Marian Sackett Whiting
  Southbury — Marian Sackett Whiting of Southbury, formerly a longtime resident of Bethany, died peacefully on December 26, 2023, at the age of 94.
  Born on May 30, 1929, in New Haven, Marian grew up believing that the Memorial Day parades and picnics were in honor of her birthday. She was one of the nine children born to the late Charles Sackett, Sr., and Florence Riley Sackett in New Haven.
  She was predeceased by the greatest love of her life, her husband, Leonard C. Whiting, Jr. Theirs was a fairy tale romance with Leonard announcing to her parents that he would marry their daughter even before their first date.
  Family was everything to Marian. Left to treasure her memory are her daughters, Darcey DiMenna (Daniel) of Texas and Brenda Beard (Geoffrey) of Connecticut, and the grandchildren, who called her Nani, Jeffery Surprise (Sarah) and Gayle DiMenna-Maus (William), both of Texas, Leonard Beard (Valerie) of Connecticut, Laura Conte (Chad) of New Hampshire, Andrew Beard (Brooke) of Massachusetts and Rebecca Beard of Pennsylvania, as well as 10 great-grandchildren, all of whom brought her the greatest joy by calling her Great Nani.
  Marian is also survived by her sister, Betty LaCroix; her brother-in-law, Joseph Massini, and her sisters-in-law, Ann Sackett and Barbara Whiting. Also to remember her are more than 40 nieces and nephews who lovingly called her Aunt Mare.
  Growing up in Woodbridge, Marian worked as a clerk for Yale University prior to her marriage.
  After raising her two daughters, she taught bowling to children with special needs and volunteered her time at Partnership in Hamden helping the senior residents to make crafts.
  Marian excelled at arts and crafts and many benefited from her talent. From handmade dresses to quilts, dolls and doll clothing, beaded Christmas ornaments and knitting, there was no limit to her interests and talent. During her last years, despite having lost most of her vision, she continued to knit squares that were combined to make crazy blankets for her 10 great-grandchildren.
  Her philosophy for life was kindness, always reminding us that if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all. “While we were often embarrassed as children by her chatting with strangers in the grocery store, we find ourselves doing the same thing.” It never hurts to be nice to people.
  She welcomed everyone to her home and was a great listener, imparting her wisdom and humor when someone needed it.
  A service to celebrate this charming, loving woman will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, January 13, at the Middlebury Congregational Church, 1242 Whittemore Rd., Middlebury. Time for visiting with the family will follow the service in the church meeting hall.
  The service will be live-streamed for those unable to attend: https://www.youtube.com/c/middleburycongreagationalchurch.
  In lieu of flowers, donations are sought in Marian’s name to the Southbury Food Bank, 88 Main St. South, Southbury 06488; www.SouthburyFoodBank.org.

  I. Chronicles, Chapter II.
     1. And it came to pass in the reign of Ulysses, the son of Jesse, and in the fifth year of his reign, that Simeon, the son of John, the son of Samuel of the tribe of Ford, who dwelt on the plains of Judea to the southward of Mount Rat, opened his mouth and spake unto Malinda, his wife, who was the daughter of Moses, the son of Benjamin of the tribe of Sackett, saying:
     2. Behold, have not these two sisters journeyed from a far city, where smoke ascendeth continually, even unto this land in which their fathers dwelt? and, behold, are they not yet with us?
     3. Therefore, is it not meet that we should assemble together the remnant of thy tribe and kindred that we may make merry with our friends?
     4. And she answered and said, as it seemeth good unto my lord, so do.
     5. So they sent forth and summoned all the tribe of Sackett who dwelt in the region round about.
     6. And in the eighth month and thirteenth day of the month, this people said one to another, come, let us arise and go unto the house of Simeon, and we will prepare food for the feast to take with us.
     7. And there came Orpha and Minerva, daughters of Benjamin, who dwelt together to the southward, and their charioteer was Frederick, of the tribe of Brinsmade; and with them three daughters of Marilla, the widow of Henry, the son of Benjamin, the son of Benjamin.
     8. From the northward, even from the country of Warren, came Eliza, widow of Myron, the son of Achsah the daughter of Benjamin.
     9. And Mary, the daughter of Justus, the son of Benjamin, and wife of George, who was a tiller of the soil, bringing their children and children's children.
     10. Also, Emily a sister of Mary, who dwelt where her forefathers had lived for many generations; now the husband of Emily was Henry, the son of Silas, and they, together with their household, journeyed southward.
     11. And Charles, the son of Achsah the daughter of Benjamin, drove in his chariot alone, for Phebe, his wife, was ill at home.
     12. Now, Lucy, the daughter of Justus, the son of Benjamin, who dwelt far to the southward, even by the sea coast, came with Louis, her husband, who was a skilful player of instruments, together with their children.
     13. Lucinda, the wife of Edgar, son of Sheldon, came also with her husband to the feast.
     14. And all the sons of Simeon, yea, and his whole household, together with all that had come from far were numbered, and their number was thirty and three.
     15. And it came to pass that when all the people were assembled, they had much pleasant discourse together, and Lois, a little maiden of the tribe of Ford, who had journeyed from a far country, even from beyond the sea, lifted up her voice and sang in an unknown tongue, making sweet music before all the people.
     16. Now, when the set time was come, the wives and daughters prepared the feast quickly from the many baskets full which were gathered in store; for they had all things pleasant to the taste and goodly to the eye.
     17. Now Darius, the son of Clark, the son of Benjamin, who was a learned man among the people, had sent a present to Orpha, a little tea, from beyond Jordan, even from China, and Orpha brought this present, and other goodly things to the feast, saying, let us all drink of it; and the fragrance filled the whole house where they were sitting.
     18. And when they were seated at the feast, Simeon, who was a ruler of the synagogue, arose and spake unto Henry, saying, it is meet that we call upon the name of the Lord; so Henry gave thanks unto the Lord; then all the people ate and were filled, and the fragments were many.
     19. Now it came to pass that Charles, not being in the presence of his wife, drank mightily of the tea, until he arose in his cunning and craftiness and seized upon all the sweets which were reserved for the hand-maidens who had served, and a fierce strife arose among the people; then the women arose and bound him with sinewy cords and the contention ceased not till all the sweets were devoured.
     20. When the even was come, the people departed from the house of Simeon and journeyed to their own homes.

  Sheldon Sackett Weds Secretary of Gov. Meier
  A wedding which came as a startling surprise to a large circle of acquaintances and which is of interest throughout the state was that which united Miss Beatrice Walton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Walton, and Sheldon F. Sackett, son of Judge and Mrs. Fred B. Sackett of McMinnville, Thursday evening at 7 o'clock at the Walton home in Salem.
  Even the best friends of Mr. and Mrs. Sackett were given little warning of the wedding's approach, and because of the prominence of the couple its occurrence will no doubt be the topic of conversation wherever society congregates today.

Sackett of McMinnville, parents of the groom, Mr. and Mrs. William Walton, the former a brother of the groom, and Mrs. Thomas Hardie.

  Born in Salem, Ore., of a pioneer Oregon family, Mrs. Sackett was educated in Salem schools and was a graduate of Mills college, Oakland. After teaching two years, Mrs. Sackett became secretary to the state superintendent of public instruction and later became executive secretary to three Oregon governors, I. C. Patterson, A. W. Norblad and Julius E. Meier.
  Invited to remain as secretary to Gov. Charles H. Martin, who succeeded Meier, Mrs. Sackett elected to return to private life. She was appointed to the state board of education in 1934 by Meier, a position she held continuously until her death.
  For many years she was the only woman member of the state board and had been vice president since 1940. She was an active member of the Episcopal church, the American Association of University Women and Phi Beta Kappa.
  She was married to Mr. Sackett Dec. 31, 1931, in Salem moving to Coos Bay in 1936. Besides her husband, Mrs. Sackett is survived by two children, Marcia Anne, 12, and John Walton, 9; her mother, Mrs. Mary E. Walton of Salem, and two brothers, William S. Walton, Salem banker, and Brig. Gen. Leo Walton, commanding general, U. S. army air corps at Orlando, Fla. Mrs. Sackett requested there be no flowers and the funeral private.
  Because of Mrs. Sackett's illness, transfer of the properties of The Seattle Star has not been made, but will take place within two weeks.
  Snell Pays Tribute To Publisher's Wife

  Beatrice Walton Sackett
  To the many virtues for which Mrs. Beatrice Walton Sackett was justly famed must be added one of heroism. With great courage she battled in recent years the encroachment of mailgnant disease, underwent numerous operations which served only to prolong life yet she held herself to her public and private duties with unconquerable fortitude until finally she had to yield to her physical infirmity.
  Here was a woman who could be described as the ideal modern woman: of fine intelligence, strong character, yet truly feminine, who renderd exceptional service in public position and maintained her home and cared for her family. Her work as private secretary to governors of the state and as member of the state board of higher education was regarded as outstanding. Her personal charm and graciousness of manner won for her a host of friends who share with relatives genuine grief over her passing.

The Swede is said to have attacked Sackett with a shovel, whereupon the latter drew a pistol and shot the Swede twice. Sackett got a doctor to attend his victim and gave himself up to the sheriff. He was discharged because it was not supposed the wounds were serious. But the Swede is reported as now being in a dangerous condition.
