Sally Daniels Obituary

Sally Daniels Naples, FL

Sally Daniels, 89, of Naples died on May 3, 2012. Sally spent most of her adult life in Newton, MA where she raised her four children. Her husband, Arnold Daniels died in 1998.

Arnold and Sally started an international management consulting business in 1955, which continues to grow and thrive today.

Sally had a passion for music of all kinds, for art of all styles, for fashion, for opera, for theatre. She loved to argue politics and watch the world evolve through her interest in current events. She had a quick wit and a sense of humor that made her a joy to be around. She and her husband traveled the world, making lifelong friends all along the way.

Sally had an insatiable appetite for learning about different countries and their cultures. She did not just pass through as a tourist but got to know the people through their art, their food and their music. She integrated it all into her own life in some way.

Sally will be remembered for her humor, generosity and the stature with which she carried herself. Her bravery in facing some of life's most difficult challenges and her undaunted love of life are part of her legacy. Sally touched many people.

Her memory will continue on as the bright, guiding light for her surviving daughter, Elisabeth, of Naples, FL. She leaves her first great grand baby, Ava Elisabeth, who came along just a year ago and, in some ethereal way, Sally will have the joy of watching Ava grow into a wonderful, wise, funny, extraordinary person just like each of her parents, Kaitlyn and Mark who brought Sally immeasurable happiness over her last months.

She was preceded in death by her children, Arnie, Stephen, and Dinah.

A memorial service for Sally will be held Wednesday, May 9th, 2:00 p.m. at the Fuller Funeral Home located at 4735 Tamiami Trail East, Naples, FL 34112. Reception to follow.

Final committal will be at Sharon Memorial Park in Sharon, MA.

Not sure what to say?





It has been 7 years since you left all of us Sally. While life goes on and mine has changed immensely, it is not the same life without you. I think of you often and have visited your final resting place at least once every year to pay my respects and "talk" with you. You made my life better is so many ways. You were the mother that I never had and I will love you forever for that.

Life is to short,and the time spent with Sally was way to short for me.She was such a joy to visit and spend time with.Sally would always find a way to bring a smile to your face.I loved our visits together we would sometimes chat about the current news happenings,we would often talk about my grandsons she loved hearing what they were up to and she was full wisdom and advice when it was needed.I remember her saying onetime she would have done a few things different with her boys if she had it to do over she so loved children.We talked about cooking and baking alot and oh how she loved her Apple and Pumpkin Pies, and if they were not up to her standards she was not afraid to tell you about it, that's what I loved the most about Sally she never suger-coated anything she told you just what was on her mind.I am truely blessed to have known you Sally,you will forever be in my heart,I will miss you very much and I will never forget your wisdom,kindness and your beautiful smile.

Sally Daniels was my mother-in-law, and, over the past few years, I spent as much time with her as anyone else except for caregivers, and I can truthfully say that Sally enriched my life immeasurably. She loved when I read the New Yorker and the Economist to her, was invigorated by arguing politics, worked very hard to understand the newest scientific and technological discoveries, and especially loved the turn of a well written phrase. Sometimes we would read a sentence in the New Yorker many times just to reflect on the beautiful phrase. Sally was engaged and dynamic and alive mentally,

I will miss her everyday. She was a marvelous, elegant, beautiful and intellectually inquisitive lady. And, that is the way I will always remember her.

In the short amount of time ive known Sally she has touched my heart in a special way. Sally taught me about appreciating the little things in life. Whenever I hear classical music, hear birds chirping, when I see butterflies, leather pants, or a sale at Escada I will think of my dear friend Sally. Sally was a beautiful, smart, witty woman with an eccentric sense of style. I will miss our long conversations we shared, and I will especially miss they way Sally would smile when she spoke of her children. Sally you will always hold a special place in my heart and will forever be missed.

I have not known Sally for nearly as long as most people.  I met her only 3 years ago when I started dating her grandson Mark.  She instantly welcomed me into her family with open arms.  Sally overwhelmed me with her kindness and generosity.  I remember when Mark and I shared the news with Elisabeth and Sally that we were having a baby.  Elisabeth held the ultrasound picture in her hand staring at it in disbelief while Sally sat next to her excited to know what the surprise was.  Sally was overjoyed and she herself had this look of amazement with the idea that at 88, she was going to be great grandma.  The times that Sally spent with our daughter Ava Elisabeth were always so sweet and special.  Sally would always tell Ava how beautiful and marvelous she was while sitting on the floor with her playing and rolling around.  Each visit we shared with Sally always included stories and lessons on life whether it was something as simple as where to buy the best sheets and towels or as serious as the importance of providing Ava with the best possible education.  But most importantly that leather is always in style no matter how old you are!
I will miss Sally very much.  I will miss her soft hands on mine.  I will miss her passion for life and the unique way in which she enjoyed everyday.  I am so grateful for the moments I had with her and for the precious time she spent with Ava.  I will carry her in my heart and I know her life, her legacy and all of the memories will live on through Elisabeth.  We love you always!  Kaitlyn,Mark and Ava.

Sally was special in so many ways and anyone who knew her recognized that about her. I will miss her everyday. She was the biggest presence in my life, throughout my life, the brightest light and an extraordinary example of inner strength and spirit. I have not lost her, she is a part of my very core.
