May Good Neighbor Award: Janet Sadler

Janet Sadler

“Janet is always ready to help everyone! Every trash day she brings in her neighbor’s trash cans. She delivers food to her neighbors. Janet also picks up litter on our street. I have been her neighbor for 20 plus years and she is always ready to help no matter what! She even weed whacks my yard!”  - Lisa Burke

Janet moved to Parkside as a child in 1941. She has lived here for more than 80 years, only leaving briefly to accompany her husband when he was in the military. They returned to Parkside and raised their family here. It’s not hard to see why Janet is revered among the neighborhood as she takes a break from mowing her lawn to accept her Good Neighbor Award. Standing among her beautiful garden for a quick chat, she reminisced about her time in Parkside and the old fashioned soda shop that she loved to frequent many years ago. Janet was presented with a $25 gift certificate to Phil & Jim’s as a thank you from the Parkside Communications Committee for making Parkside a better place. While they don’t serve ice cream, Delco’s best cheesesteak might be the next best thing.
