Nedra Vimmerstedt Sattler 1934-2021

Nedra was born Dec. 24, 1934, in Youngstown, to Charles A. Vimmerstedt and Vivienne Williard Vimmerstedt.

At the age of 4, her great-aunt and uncle, Lucy and Eric Vimmerstedt, raised her alongside their seven children, Rosemary, Bud, Jean, Carl, Stella, John and Clair, on Princeton Avenue. She was a 1953 graduate of Ursuline High School and married her high school sweetheart, Ronald J. Sattler, on May 21, 1955. They celebrated 58 years of marriage until his passing Nov. 25, 2013.

Nedra will be deeply missed and always remain in the hearts of her family: children, Vivienne (Steve) Kurdziel of Struthers, Jeff (Rhonda) Sattler of Beecher, Ill., Sharon Conti of Struthers and Ronald “Barney” (Mandy) Sattler of Suwanee, Ga.; her grandchildren, Colleen Hlywa, Brian (Crystal) Hlywa, Mallory and Adam Sattler, Anthony and Victoria Messuri, Kaitlynn Kurdziel, Nicholas Conti and Erin Sattler; great-granddaughter, Courtney Hlywa; aunts, Beverly and Nan; stepbrother, Charles O. Vimmerstedt; and several nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her beloved husband; daughter, Linda Lee Sattler Messuri; grandparents, Alfred and Lyde Vimmerstedt, and William and Doris Williard; stepmother, Katherine Vimmerstedt; and stepsister, Norma Fabrizio.

She enjoyed summer vacations at Geneva-on-the-Lake cottages with family and close friends for over 25 years, building lasting memories. She was an amazingly warm person, whose generosity and kindness were unmatched. She would do anything for anyone without hesitation. Her infectious laugh and bright smile always lit up a room.

As a member of the Sharpettes Club and the R.R.V. Club, she treasured these long-lasting friendships and looked forward to their monthly luncheons and laughter.

She worked for K-Mart for 15 years as a clerk and was also on the Ursuline Class Reunion luncheon committee. She was a member of Christ Our Savior, formerly St. Nicholas Church, in Struthers.
