Sally was my dear friend from the day I met her at Mass Mutual in 1990. She was a joyful and funny "gal" and lived just as she wanted. She loved her family and was proud of her daughters, her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Sally was a generous gardener and loved to share her plants. The pink irises she gave me have spread to my family and friends and will forever remind me of Sally.

To Sally´s family, please accept my condolences. Sally and I worked together for several years in field communications at MassMutual, so it was especially heartwarming to see her favorite job was producing our agent newspaper. Sally was instrumental in our transition to digital production, which was the beginning of a process that eventually led to an online publication. I admired her strength and perseverance when Jerry was hospitalized in Boston. After work, she would drive to visit him,...
