Sally Bakes Obituary
1932 - 2020
Sally Bakes passed away peacefully February 20, 2020. She was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on March 11, 1932 to Roger and Regina Erichsen Stockdale and was the youngest of three children. Sally grew up in the Milwaukee area and attended the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. She moved to Boise in the late 1950's, married and had three daughters.
Sally enjoyed working and among other positions, was manager of the Scandia Down Shop and the St. Luke's Hospital Gift Shop in Boise. Sales were never better for both organizations than when Sally was the manager. Upon retirement, she actively participated on the board of her homeowners association. She was instrumental in getting a water well drilled on the property, which has saved the HOA over one hundred thousand dollars since its installation. Sally also loved swimming, traveling and attending her granddaughters' activities. A BSU fan, she was a long time football season ticket holder and loved cheering for the Broncos.
Sally was blessed with beautiful blue eyes and a sparking smile. She lived a full life and will be lovingly remembered by many.
Sally is survived by her daughters, Cynthia Bakes Talboy (Robert), Susan Bakes Neel (Buster), and Patricia Bakes. She also leaves behind three granddaughters, Hayley Talboy (Brett Ward), Elise Talboy and Abigail Talboy as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
At her request, no services will be held. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in Sally's name to the American Diabetes Association. www.diabetes.org.

I was thinking of Sally this holiday season (2022) and did a Google search to discover Sally's passing. I was one of St. Luke's volunteers who worked in the gift shop. During the beanie baby craze, Sally would take me to the stockroom to see which one I wanted to buy. She was always ready to listen if I was having a problem. I considered her a friend and have lost touch with her over the years. Sally was a very nice lady and worked hard to make the gift shop a success for St. Luke's Auxiliary.

Sending prayers and love to you Susan and your sisters. I have such wonderful memories of our families getting together when we were young and our fathers would go hunting. When I would see her at the hospital gift shop over the years, she was gracious and always asked about my mom and our family. Having lost my mom in 2014, I understand how difficult this is for all of you. Just remember her love and all the wonderful memories that will always be in your hearts. Love, Sandy DeNinno Lee

So much to remember about Sally. Shared dinners, recipes, BBQs, and as wives of hunters, we spent a lot of time trying new ways to make believe we were eating chicken and beef. Our daughters were very young when we met. We roamed and shopped around San Diego and San Francisco when I was living in those cities. Sally was always a class act and we were very close for many years. Love to Cindy, Susie and Patty. Virginia (Reed) Street.
