Sally liked keeping her house looking immaculate and organized. Her home could be found decorated with the things she loved like butterflies and angels. Her favorite color was purple and she loved coffee. Sally enjoyed bass fishing and almost caught the largest bass. She loved being on the boat and traveling all over.

Sally is survived by and affectionately known as Momma to two daughters, Melissa (Mike Gibson) Bundy and Sheri (Michael Conley) Bundy; MamMam to three grandchildren, Morgan (Alex England) Bundy, Nick (Chasaty) Bundy and Lexi Scoular; Great MamMam to one, Parker Bundy; brother, Dale (Barb) Blakeman; and many nieces and nephews.
