Sally Overington Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 1, 2016.
Sally Ann Overington of Warminster, died suddenly Tuesday, Nov. 29, 2016. She was 76.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Stanley and Agnes; her brother, Robert; and sister-in-law, Betty (Cunningham) Overington.
She is survived by her niece, Lynne Wassum, her husband, Matthew and their daughters, Allison Campbell (Brad), Abby, and Mandy, all of Newtown; her nephew, David Overington, his wife, Melonie, and their daughter, Katie, of Jamison and their son, Christopher (Jess) and their son, Wyatt, of Quakertown. She also is survived by her beloved sister-in-law, Jane (Horn) Overington and the Horn family; her many friends, her family at Gwynedd Mercy Academy and the entire staff of the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, N.J.
Born in Philadelphia, she joined the sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in 1959, as Sister Mary Agnese. She worked as a teacher in Savannah, Ga., and Bristol, Va. After leaving the convent, she continued her career as a teacher and tutor extraordinaire, working at Gwynedd Mercy Academy in Lower Gwynedd Township.
"Aunt Sal" was quite the character. She was an avid talker, joke-teller, traveler, and animal lover. Most of all, she adored her beloved students from her more than 50 years of teaching. Her death will leave a great void.
Friends and relatives are invited to a viewing from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 6, at Wm. Rowen Grant Funeral Home, 659 Street Rd, Southampton. A Funeral Mass will follow at 11 a.m. at Our Lady of Good Counsel Roman Catholic Church, 611 Knowles Ave., Southampton. Interment will be held privately.

I have never forgotten Sally Ann. I knew her as Sister Agnese when I taught in St.James in Savannah. We were team teachers. She was the best. My husband was in the Air Force and we were transferred before a year was up. We moved over the years, mostly jobs. Many times in the last few years when I became computer savy I tried to find her. Even contacted the IHM's. No luck there. I tried again tonight and found her. So very sad to see she passed before I could tell her how much it meant to me to teach with her. She worked so hard there and much was put on her shoulders. She never complained. My deepest sympathies to all her family and friends.

Sally and I go back to February 11, 1959 when we both entered as postulants the order of the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I left the order before she did, but we reconnected years later. Sally always referred to our join friendships with the sisters as "our sorority with funny clothes".

I will always remember her sense of humor and all the good times we shared
Rest in peace, sister.

Sorry to hear of Sally Ann's passing. My mom and Sally Ann were cousins and though I haven't seen her for a few years I remember many family gatherings growing up. She always had a sense of humor and everyone enjoyed her company. Rest in Peace.

Sally was a friend from high school. She was a member of our community for several years. I lost connection with her when she left, but ran into her at the Southampton shopping center several years ago. Sally had a great sense of humor and she was fun to be with. RIP Sally. Eileen Foy/sr.
