Sally Frye Obituary
October 23, 1938~October 24, 2024
Sally Frye was born in Barberton Ohio to the late Samuel & Jane Martin. She was the second oldest of 10 children & the oldest daughter.
At sixteen years old she met the love of her life, Bernie Frye, and never looked back. Together they raised 6 children all while traveling wherever the Navy took them.
Sally shined at making any place they moved to a loving & happy home. They eventually settled in Akron Ohio until their older children moved on. Then they packed up the others & headed west. Her door was always open. Throughout her married life she welcomed her siblings & other family members a safe place to stay when needed. She loved her family.
She caught the 80's exercise bug & continued to workout in some fashion the remainder of her life. She also loved traveling. Mostly to visit family but looked forward to gambling in Vegas with their long time friends Bob & Shirley Shaffer.
She had an infectious laugh that will be missed by all of her loved ones.
Sally loved being a Nana to her 16 grandchildren & GG to her 22 great grandkids who adored her. Her family was everything to her.
She will be terribly missed by her children
