Sally was such a character- I will always remember her ! Sally was one of the most caring, generous, and outgoing people I have ever met. Never knew what she would say or do next. Sally was a great baker and I miss her wonderful baked goods . Miss you, my friend.

Sally was such a hot ticket - just got a chuckle looking at her picture in the snowman hat. So glad I had a chance to know her and enjoy her outrageous personality. And what a wonderful baker!
Gone too soon- miss you Sally!

Can't believe it has been 6 years since Sally' s passing. I will always remember Sally's quick wit, willingness to help in any situation, and her "out of the box" thinking. I miss that great laugh and the wonderful baked goods. Sally was always there to suggest, support and sympathize with everyone she came in contact with. She was definitely one of a kind. Miss you, my friend.

My heart is heavy in hearing the news of Sally's passing. Sally was certainlly a character and added so much life, energy and creativity to all she did. Her baking talents were amazing- the cheese danish that would melt in your mouth and the awesome Santa cookies. My pal, Sal- you have found peace and your suffering has ended. Thank you for enriching my life. I will miss you. Our heartfelt sympathy to Michael and Patrick.

Mike and Patrick I am so sorry to hear of Sally's passing. As you know Sally was a longtime baby bird volunteer, supporter and friend of Center for Wildlife. I believe Sally began as a volunteer around 2003 and I had the honor of training her on baby birds which became her "favorite" and passion. She was a creative, outgoing, and kind person that was full of life and had a great smile and laugh. Beyond volunteering in the baby bird room she baked cookies and treats for volunteers, staff, and at special events. She was also creative and helped to make some beautiful CFW signs that we had used over the years. She greatly valued our work and our local wildlife and we were so lucky to work with her and know her. We may have taught her about wildlife, but she definitely shared with all of us how to be creative and be sure we are involving humor in all that we do. She was a really special woman and will be greatly missed by all of the staff, volunteers, and creatures at the Center.
-From all of us at the Center for Wildlife
