Deepest sympathy to the family. I was Sally's hairdresser for sometime, until I retired. She was so proud of her lemon/poppyseed bread that she gave for Christmas Gift. Loved to get her hair done, a lady for sure.

Sally was a good friend of my Grandmother Frances for over 80 years. She was very blessed to have Sally be part of her life, and as a result we also knew the lovely Sally. We are so glad we were able to share her 90th Birthday celebration. Prayers to her family.
