Hide AdA spokesperson for Gordon’s Chemist said: “We could not be more honoured to work alongside Sadie, and it was a real privilege for us to call with this remarkable lady and thank her for all those years of service (and for putting up with us for so long!).
“As well as serving those patients in Portrush who depend on our team, Sadie also spends a great amount of her time fundraising for local charities.
“Over the past few years she has completed several skydives, and she is always leading the charge for us in fundraising for Action Cancer and some of the other charities that we support.”
Sadie is quite the daredevil when it comes to her charity fundraising.

Hide AdShe has clocked up TWO skydives in aid of the Northern Ireland Hospice.
Speaking at the time, she said: “I think it is lovely to help other people, it is important to do your bit and it is never too late.
“I raised £3,000 from my sky dive. It was a bit of a shock to the system for about half a minute but then it was grand.”
Celebrating Sadie’s fantastic 70 years of serving the community, Gordon’s urged people to congratulate Sadie if they are visiting the pharmacy on Main Street.
