Sally was all about family. She served in many capacities such as room mother, chairperson for events, and volunteering in the St. Peter School cafeteria. She attended and supported all sporting events, often earning the nickname "Megaphone Sally" for her loud cheering. She was a member of St. Mary's Auxiliary, volunteering in the gift shop and at the Ice Cream Social. She was very strong in her faith, often attending noon Mass and taking communion to the homebound. She volunteered at the Special Learning Center and loved seeing all the children. Sally played cards for over 50 years with the same group of ladies. She loved going on bus trips and Friday night dinners out with a group of friends. She enjoyed yard work and sitting on the porch swing with a frosty mug at the end of the day.
