Sadducee:

The Sadducees were a Jewish sect that did not believe in the resurrection (Acts 23:8).  They were often in opposition to the more prevalent Pharisees; both were often criticized by Jesus (see Matthew 16:6)

(A humorous and clever childhood memory aid is that the Sadducee did not believe in resurrection, that is why they were "sad, you see.")
