Sympathy to all of Sally’s family and friends. She will be missed for her “sassy” responses and the love she had for her family and friends. She always greeted everyone when they went to the Corner Cafe in Brunsville. She will be missed, but left a great imprint on all our hearts! ❤

Sally was a great mother in law and great grandmother to our children and all of her grandchildren. She was full of spunk and always had a way with words. Luckily I was never on her bad side. She will be truly missed. Our family loved you Sally.

When I think about my grandmother, I think about the moments that made my childhood so special. Summer visits with her were some of my favorite times growing up. Trips to Godfather’s pizza, goofy golf, riding our bikes to the pool or playing bingo. We’d go to garage sales together, driving around early in the morning, looking through things and just enjoying the time together. It wasn’t really about what we found, it was about us spending time together and creating memories. She had a way of making ordinary days feel warm and happy. Those memories mean so much to me, and the love and joy she brought to my childhood is something I’ll always carry with me. I love you grandma, I’ll miss you!
