Lois Salley Obituary

Salley, Lois Clohosey
Lois Louise was born in Mexico, NY on September 9, 1933 to Thomas F. and Madge Bloodgood Clohosey. She was a 1951 graduate of Mexico Academy and Central School. Lois married Ernest J. Salley on September 14, 1951. Lois and Ernie lived in Mexico and Syracuse, NY until they left New York in 1963. They lived in Oklahoma City OK, Phoenix AZ, and San Jose CA, before moving back to the Phoenix area in 1974 where they settled in the community of Ahwatukee for the next 35 years. Lois was predeceased by her parents and three of her sisters, Rose Bouchard (Roger), Diane Mizener (Gene), and Nona Pearson (John). She is survived by her fourth sister, Mary Christenson (Larry) as well as her husband of 63 years. She is also survived by their five children, PJ (Christine), Mike (Cindy), Vicki Heller (Al), Tim (Sandy) and Chris (Joan). She leaves 13 grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. The family is deeply grateful for the wonderful care she recieved from Nicki, Rudy and the rest of the staff during her 3 year stay at Tramonto Assisted Living home. Lois passed away on February 7, 2015. A celebration of Lois' life is planned for 11 AM on March 21 at Mountain View Lutheran Church in Ahwatukee. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Hospice of the Valley to whom we are grateful for the excellent care they gave Lois and their loving support of the family during the last weeks of her life.

Grandma I love you and will miss you. I remember your breath always smelled like peppermint gum, your hugs were always comforting, I loved your laugh and your hands and all the small things that remind me of you. Whenever you and Grandpa would come to visit we would play games all the time. You taught us almost every game I know. You even tried to teach us to dance. You always listened and I loved spending time with you. I love the way to took care of Grandpa. I only have fond memories of you. I will never forget you.I am glad you are free now. I love you and goodbye.
