DODGE CITY - Jettie Dee Sage, 93, died Sunday, September 5, 2010 at Western Plains Medical Complex , Dodge City. She was born on December 20, 1916 at Aledo, Oklahoma the daughter of Walter and Effie (Fakes) Clifton.

The family moved to Hanston where she graduated from Hanston High School in 1935. She then attended Bethel College in Newton. Jettie married Glen Earl Sage on February 7, 1940 at Hanston. He preceded her in death on January 1, 1993. After their marriage they lived in Leadville, Colorado before moving to Pratt. The family moved to Dodge City in 1950 where she has resided since.

She was a lover of life and that included football especially the Demons, the Conqs, Dallas Cowboys and Kansas City Chiefs. If there was a football game, basketball game, concert or play within 200 miles, she was there. Jettie hit all the good garage sales early and often. She loved antique dolls and made beautiful delicate dresses for them. Jettie was always decorating tables at the church and decorating the house for every holiday. No one loved chocolate more than Jettie. We're sure there are some chocolates waiting for her in heaven.

She was a member of the First Baptist Church of Dodge City.

Jettie is survived by her two daughters, Theron Sage of Austin, Texas and Karen Sage of Lake Tahoe, Nevada; five grandchildren; seven great grandchildren and her two sweet dogs, Opi and Sage. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband and daughter, Peggy.
