Not sure what to say?

Sally had a bountiful personality. Yet inevitably she made pejorative unprompted opines in reference to ethnicity. That was her Achilles heel.

The world has lost a Quaker tour d'force. She will be missed.

I shall miss Sally. I was fortunate enough to be able to spend many hours talking with her at her home and at the Mill Creek Meetinghouse when I was newsletter editor and secretary of the Western Quarter. She was an original.

I met you two times, Sally, and felt your passion and intelligence. I am thankful for all that you have done for the White Clay watershed and your community. Jenny

Our sympathies to the family.

Sally made such an incredible impact in our lives and in our community. Being one of the founding members of Newark Co-op, she was integral in guiding us toward a true community based organization where all are welcome. Her dynamic spirit will truly be missed by us all.
