I was born and raised in Pennsylvania. But, my mother was from the south. Florida, to be exact. So, yes I grew up addressing my elders as Sir or Ma'am. I also grew up using the title Mr., Mrs. or Miss. My kids don't so much use the Sir or Ma'am, but most definately use Mr., Mrs. or Miss. My daughters friends have also learned (from her) that I am Mr. O'Rights, and not Bill, or Billy.
