Sada, age 95 of Chicago, died, April 8, 2016, after suffering a long time with Alzheimer's. Sada was born and grew up in Nevada. While living with her parents she learned to speak and write the distinguished old Japanese Language. Sada took bookkeeping and evening classes learning to become a beautician. She also studied fine arts and flower arranging.
After the whole family moved to Chicago Sada opened a first class beauty salon downtown. In May, 1960, she was married to Louis Szathmary. Sada also worked as a Japanese flower arranging teacher with the Ikebana Club in Chicago. She always believed in learning and hard work.
In 1962 Sada and Louis opened a small family restaurant on Lincoln Ave. but needed to move the rest of the Szathmary family from Connecticut to help in managing it. Hard work and the combination of Japanese, Hungarians and Germans made the Bakery Restaurant successful and famous for 27 years.
In 2001 Sada's health began to decline. The cruel dementia stole her healthy freedom. There seemed no hope, no joy, no purpose in living. She found comfort, care and a good Doctor at the Holy Court Terrace in Oak Park, Illinois, with her private 24 hour loving and kind caregiver for 15 years. Sada liked her so well until the end.
She is survived by her sister-in-laws, Kimi Tanino, Oak Park, Illinois, and Wanda Szathmary of Monroe, WI, a stepdaughter, Magda Szathmary Bennett, Norwalk, Connecticut and Paul Miller, Oak Park, Illinois. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Louis, brother Cooli Tanino, sister, Mitchi Tanino Kobata, brother-in-law Marsh Kobata, brother-in-law, Geza Szathmary and her niece Cheryl Tanino Miller. Sada's remains are resting close to her family at the Japanese Buddhist Temple in Chicago. In lieu of a memorial a silent prayer would be appreciated.
