My condolences to my OES classmate, Alexandra Dussin Cook. Your mother was an amazing woman! The OSF was a special treat to visit. Toni Webb

I checked "friend", but Sally treated us as family....so did Guss. It was because of OSF that we met and married. They were the warmest, loving and most compassionate people we have ever met. Jerry and I admired both so much. Much love to the family. Jerry and Julie Owen

Enjoyed my time working with Sally on antique buying trips and remodeling interiors of Old Spaghetti Factory locations. Remember paneling Gus's office with the wood out of the Bend courthouse.
Many days spent working side by side instead of being a cook.
Remember the deep white carpet in the living room at home and the great banana creme pies the grandma would bake for me when she knew I was co.ing over to the house.
Sally always treated me decently.
Enjoyed my years...

My condolences to Sally’s loved ones. She will be missed. May the God of all comfort help her loved ones endure this time of loss.

So sorry to hear about your mom’s passing Alexandra. What an amazing legacy! I saw this and remembered my time at CBS with you and wanted to let you know I still remember those years fondly and appreciated all you did.
Blessed,
June Hainley

Alex: I don't think I ever met your mom or dad, but I'm so sorry for your loss. Kathy Hawkins SHH'68

With out a doubt nowhere could you ever find a more gracious person she displayed elegance, femininity in everything she did ,my brother and his company worked on their Hillsboro location , my cousins made her lamp shades for all of her locations . On many special occasions we ate at the McAdam location where Mrs. Sally Dussin lived upstairs . She will undoubtedly be very missed ,she leaves quite a legacy may she RIP.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. Sally left her mark in many ways. But will be most remembered how she and Gus made The Old Spaghetti Factory a huge success. We are proud of what they accomplished in their lifetime. May her memory be eternal. Love, E. John & Cleo Rumpakis.

My father, Marshall Gifford, knew Sally and Guss from the Virginia Cafe. He was a regular customer. I remember as a kid when he and Mom took us to the first location of Spaghetti Factory in Old Town. Over the years Sally was a great customer and friend of our business. She was very special. And the feelings of loss I have pale in comparison to her family and loved ones. Sally was an amazing woman and will certainly live in my memories. Jim Gifford
