Bio
Sadie Mae Blaha, 97, of Taylor formerly of Granger, Texas, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, September 3, 2025. She was born on October 24, 1927, in Granger, to Anton and Millie (Kveton) Machu. She married Daniel T. Blaha Sr. on November 29, 1949, and they celebrated 61 years together until his passing. While living in Granger, as a young mother, she dedicated her life to creating a warm and nurturing home for her husband and two children. Later they moved to Taylor, Texas, where she worked in a sewing factory and then in the kitchen at Taylor SPJST Rest Home where she retired. Sadie was a longtime member of the SPJST Granger Lodge 20 and was recognized at a Granger football game in 2024 for being the oldest graduate from Granger High School class of 1944. She enjoyed canning, baking, and gardening, where she especially loved her roses. Her greatest joy was her family, especially her six great-grandchildren. She cared for them very much and you could tell by the smile that would light up a room when she saw them. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Daniel; daughter, Katherine Blaha; nephew, Greg Machu; brother-in-law, Raymond, and sister-in-law, Betty Blaha. Sadie is survived by her son, Daniel F. Blaha Jr. and wife, Katherine; daughter, Patricia (Pat) Raesz and husband, Larry; four grandchildren, Melissa Wentrcek and husband, Michael, Kimberly Knippa and husband, Daniel, Brandon Raesz, and Bradley Raesz; six great-grandchildren, Dayton and Khloe Knippa, Bryce, Brynn and Graysen Raesz, and Madyson Wentrcek; brother, Darwin Machu and wife, Nancy; four nieces, Rhonda Roten and husband, Bobby, Dawn Pehl and husband, Michael, Pam Bartek and husband, Mark, and Cheryl Malm and husband, Brett; a great-nephew and several great-nieces. Visitation will be on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Condra Funeral Home in Taylor, Texas. Funeral Services will be on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, at 10 a.m. at Taylor Brethren Church, with Mark Labaj officiating. Burial will follow at the Granger Brethren Cemetery. Serving as pallbearers will be her grandsons, Brandon Raesz, Bradley Raesz, Daniel Knippa, and Michael Wentrcek. Also serving will be Mark Bartek and Bobby Roten. Honorary pallbearers will be her great-grandsons, Dayton Knippa, and Bryce and Graysen Raesz. We would like to extend our appreciation to the staff at SPJST Rest Home and to Corey Strmiska and staff at Concho Hearts Hospice who cared for our beloved mom, grandma, and great-grandma. Memorials may be given to Taylor Brethren Church or charity of choice. (CONTRIBUTED BY JOE ECKOLS #48385055)
