Obituary for Julia Sadler McCrae Dateline – Clinton Julia Sadler McCrae died peacefully on June 2, 2018, with her adoring children at her side. She was born in Clinton, South Carolina on July 18, 1949. Julia, the second eldest daughter of Rufus Earle Sadler and Mary Beatrice Doherty, graduated from Clinton High School in 1967, and from University of Florida in 1971 with a degree in physical therapy.
Julia is survived by her children, Stephen Richards McCrae III and his wife Emily, and Janet Sadler McCrae, and her two beloved grandchildren, Madeline Laura McCrae and Julia Grace McCrae, her sisters, Virginia Sadler Suber (Andy), Nancy Doherty Sadler (Mac) and Dr. Patricia Earle Sadler (Walt). Julia had eleven nieces and nephews: Mary Parker Turnipseed, Nancy Sadler Turnipseed, Kathleen Sadler Turnipseed, Sara Hopkins Tyer (Kevin), Catherine Hopkins Arthurs (Greg), Julia Mitchell Renken (Robby), Evelyn Murdaugh Mitchell (Craig), David Carl Mitchell Jr. (Hollie), Walter Moorehead Hughes III, Virginia Bradley Hughes (Andrew) and Caroline Sadler Hughes, and her great-grand nieces and nephews, Owen Tyer, Sadler Tyer, William Arthurs, Bradley Arthurs, Robert Renken IV, Sadler Renken, Mac Link, Elliott Smith, Lucy Ruff and Katie Ruff. She is predeceased by her sisters, Sara Sadler Turnipseed and Mary Bradley Sadler, and her parents, Rufus and Mary.
She was a talented physical therapist who loved assisting her patients, but her most important job was being a devoted mother to Stephen and Janet, whom she loved deeply and to whom she gave everything.
