Sally Wofford

JONESBORO - Sally Anne Wofford passed from this life on Oct. 31, 2021, at the age of 91. She was born Dec. 5, 1929, in Wyatt, Mo., to Paul and Margaret McGaughey and lived there until 1940 when the family moved to Weiner.

Sally attended Weiner High School and on Dec. 22, 1946, of her senior year, she married her lifelong sweetheart, Tommy Wofford who signed her final report card.

Sally was a great cook, great wife and great mother.

She loved being a homeroom mother and "second Mom" to all the boys in Lloyd's class at Weiner. She loved to drive fast cars, wear beautiful jewelry and take care of her home.

She was very active in the rice cooking competition at the Arkansas Rice Festival in Weiner and was an active member of the Weiner United Methodist Church where she was the pianist for many years.

Tommy and Sally loved to travel out west with friends. The men would hunt and the ladies would shop.

She and her sister-in-law, Cecelia often traveled to New York where they would enjoy going to plays, touring the city and, of course, shopping.

Sally accompanied Tommy to air shows where he flew his restored TBM warbird, making lifelong friendships along the way.

Sally and Tommy had moved to St. Bernards Villa in recent years and enjoyed spending time together and with family.

Her husband Tommy; parents, Paul and Margaret McGaughey, as well as her brother and sister-in-law, Bob and June McGaughey of Milan Tenn., precede Sally in death.

Also preceding her in death was her best friend Bobbie Lois Senteney of Weiner.
