Sarah Bull Obituary

Visit the Concord Funeral Home & Cremation Service website to view the full obituary.
On Sunday, July 22, 2018, Sarah Greene Bull, known to all who loved her as Sally, died at age 83 in Providence, RI. Sally was born to Margaret and Harding Greene in Boston, MA in 1935. She graduated from the Katherine Gibbs School and worked as a secretary in offices at MIT, the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, and Geometrics Furniture among others. In spring of 1966, she married the love of her life Roger Ludlow Bull at the Concord Academy Chapel and in 1970 she gave birth to their beloved son Christopher Updike Bull. Sally's personality exuded a special warmth that she brought to everything she did. She was an avid sunbather, a constant gardener, and an adventurous world traveler. She most loved gathering with friends and family, drinking wine, eating good food and sharing stories. Her charitable work was core to her life. Known as the "Queen of Front of House," Sally volunteered for the Concord Players, where her husband Roger had acted, for over 40 years. She recently won the "Heddie Award" at the Concord Players for her years of service – an award named for her dear friend and mentor Heddie Kent. Additionally, she also provided support for the Family Day activities at the Northeastern Corrections Center since 2011, and was involved in their Restorative Justice work. She leaves behind a large, devoted family: her son Christopher Bull and his wife Sara Archambault; her step-son Peter Bull and his wife Susan Wilharm-Bull, and her step-daughter Katherine Bull and her husband Terry Honeysett; her grandchildren Annabelle Bull, Oscar Bull, Lucy Bull, and Gina Bull; her sister Anstis Benfield; her nieces Rebecca Benfield and her husband Harish Chand, Kristen Waddell and her husband Michael Waddell, her nephew Andrew Benfield and his wife Suzanne Benfield, and her great-nieces and nephews Acadia Waddell, Benjamin Waddell, Abigail Benfield, Rachel Benfield, and Aimon Benfield-Chand. She is pre-deceased by her husband Roger (1979) and her step-son Alexander "Sandy" Bull (1993). A celebration of Sally's life will be hosted on Sunday, August 26th at 11am at the 51 Walden Performing Arts Center in Concord. Donations in Sally's name can be made to: 51 Walden Performing Arts Center 51 Walden Street Concord, MA 01742 or Habit for Humanity 201 Great Road, Suite #301 Concord, MA 01742

I've just stumbled upon this notice and am saddened to learn of Sally's passing. I worked with her in the 70's at Geometric Furniture. I was the only female out in the shop, so Sally was my comrade there. We ate many a lunch together during those years. I also worked with her sporadically when she needed assistance with some of her gardening projects for folks. She was one of the kindest people I've known and am sorry I didn't get the chance to reconnect with her. My condolences to her family and friends. Rest in peace, Sally.

We here at Milldam Condos really feel a loss with Sally's passing. I've only lived here two years, but I'll never forget the warm welcoming that Sally gave us. She was like that with everyone... always trying to make everyone feel special. In reading the

We here at Milldam Condos really feel a loss with Sally's passing. I've only lived here two years, but I'll never forget the warm welcoming that Sally gave us. She was like that with everyone... always trying to make everyone feel special. In reading the obituaries the word kind keeps cropping up-- she certainly was kind and generous with her time and love. This photo shows her joie de vivre at one of our gatherings. She will be sorely missed, Phyllis and George Procter

Sending Sally's entire family and many, many friends our sincere sympathy along with all the love and warmth that Sally always exuded. As longtime Concord Players members, we fondly remember how Sally's cheery greetings and unforgettable smiles at 51 Walden made everyone around her feel welcome and supported. Sally was a team player who stepped up and did whatever needed to be done. She did so much and will leave an enormous void in the Concord Players organization. We, along with countless others, will really miss her.

I am sad to lose my friend, Sally, a friend of over fifty years.I didn't see Sally often but we shared much over the years. We both enjoyed cooking and sometimes found ourselves together over a stove. I taught yoga classes in my garage when Sally was a Carlisle neighbor; sometimes Sally was practicing headstands while Baby Chris was napping in the porta-crib in the back of her van in my driveway. Sally urged me to join the Concord Players group on London theatre trips; as a leader, she deftly kept us in line. When she wasn't organizing tickets and schedules, she was buying gifts for grandchildren. I have so many good memories of this fine woman. Rest in peace, Sally.

Sally was a dear to all of us condo neighbors. Truly the spirit of the place, she organized get-togethers, exhibited concern for others, and kept a gorgeous patio garden, where she often hosted friends on summer afternoons. We hugely miss her smiling presence.

Sally was always warm and generous. She was one of the first people to welcome me into the family. That love bouyed me through many a challenge. I miss her for so many reasons!
