Sally Pierce Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 22, 2006.

Sally Ashworth Pierce
Sally Ashworth Pierce, 40, passed away on May 19, 2006, attended by her husband.
"I was born on October 5, 1965, in San Jose, California, to my wonderful parents, Rachel Calder and Clint Ashworth. I was raised in California and attended BYU. On September 3, 1985, I married my best friend and sweetheart, Jeff Pierce, in the Salt Lake Temple.
I worked for 17 years as a bookkeeper for various businesses in Utah County. For the past five years, I ran my own bookkeeping service.
Jeff and I were blessed by the arrival of our sweet, energetic, and fun son, Noah. What a joy he has been in our lives.
I was an active member of the LDS Church and served in several callings, mostly with the Young Women and Primary. Those I served became my friends. I loved music and playing the piano. I've enjoyed working in my flower garden, cross-stitching, visiting with my husband and friends, traveling and sightseeing, and being a mom. I love all of my family and friends for their support, love, and help throughout my life; but, particularly, while I was so sick with cancer.
I am survived by my wonderful husband, Jeff; and our son, Noah (3); my parents, Clint and Rachel Ashworth, of Orem; my brothers: Jeff (Provo), Jim (Idaho), Alan (New Jersey), Paul (Orem); and my best girlfriend/sister, Jane Rollins (Colorado). I was preceded in death by my sweet sister, Lucy; and my little dog, Maddy.
I would like to request flowers with low fragrance due to sensitivities of others; and, NO GLADIOLAS, because they're ugly."
Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, May 24th, 10 a.m.,at the LDS stake center located at 1660 N. 200 West in Orem. My interment will be at the Orem City Cemetery.
Condolences may be sent to [email protected]

Sally and I were childhood friends in Walnut Creek, growing up a few blocks from each other. Our Moms were pregnant at the same time, and brought both Jane and Teddy into the world within a week of each other. Although Sally and I lost touch over the years, I will always remember her as a wonderful, joyful person who had a significant impact on other's lives. I know you are at peace now Sally, without any pain or suffering. You will remain in our hearts forever.

Dear Ashworth Family and Jeff,

We loved Sally and all the fun times we had in Walnut Creek. It has been about 15 years since we saw her when we were all in Provo. Our love and thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

We were shocked to hear of Salley's passing. We know she has been sick, but it just seems like the whole world should stand still until we return. We're sorry we can't be there to comfort you, Jeff. Your family has been a light and an example to us. Know that our prayers are with you, Noah, and the other members of your extended family. Sweet is the peace the gospel brings, and we know that it's true.

Sally was an awesome person. Full of life and energy. I haven't seen her since highschool, although we got in contact last year with Christams cards, and a couple of phone calls. We said we would get together after the holidays, but we never did. I didn't know she was sick. I feel horrible I never got over to see her. She passed away on my birthday. My heart goes out to you Jeff and Little Noah. God Bless.

Jeff, we are going to miss Sally's smile. She really was a good friend to the Young Women and children in the neighborhood. You also have been a good friend to the youth. You were a good, loving and helpful husband to your cheerful wife. She married the right guy! The Lord will bless and comfort you and Noah. You both are loved.

Sweet Sally, I first met her when she trained me for her position as a office manager. My first empression of her was "wow what an amazing person" I want to get to know her better and have her as my friend. And what a great friend she was to all. I'm just sorry that we lost touch over the past 3 years. Sally,"SOAR HIGH." until we meet again.

Love You, Susie Miller

It's been twenty five years since I've seen Sally, but she will also have a special place in my heart. She was so full of love and life. She wore her emotions on her sleeve and was much attuned to other people’s emotions.

I have many fond memories of slumber parties at her house with our little gang of grade school friends. I have attached two of the many photos I have with her as a part of my childhood. As I didn’t know Sally as the grown woman, wife and mother in her obituary photo, I will always remember her as the wild child I grew up with. My heart goes out to her family.

I was very saddened to hear of Sally's passing. Sally was one of the neatest people I've ever met. I’m grateful I had the opportunity of knowing her. She had the best sense-of-humor and it always brightened my day to be around her fun personality. I have many fond memories of when we worked together. She was also a dear friend and a great inspiration to me. My thoughts and prayers go to Jeff and Noah.

Jeff,

You truly were an angel and a friend to me and my children during Savior of the World. When I saw you Saturday, I had no idea about your wonderful wife.

Our thoughts and prayers as a family are with you. Please know that you are never alone... Angels watch over you and want the best for you.

What a shock it was for me to hear of Sally's passing! I have been living far away for the past 20 years and was unaware of her illness. Interestingly enough, she has been heavy on my mind these past few days before I heard of her death. God be with her family in this time of grief. Sally and I were high school /college friends. I love her and I will miss her dearly.

I am so saddened by the death of my cousin, Sally. Words cannot describe how deeply I feel for her family; Noah, Jeff, Uncle Clint and Aunt Rachel, and my cousins. I wish there was something profound I could say to ease the pain, but I can't think of anything. God bless. I love you all.

Jeff, Noah and the Ashworths,

I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful blessing Sally was in my life. She has such a great sense of humor and from the moment I came into this family she made me feel so welcome and comfortable. I know she is Susan's counsin, but many of us "slightly younger" ones really felt like she was our cousin. We love her dearly and will miss her.

I will miss Sally dearly. She was my 2nd Mother growing up, and became my best friend. I was so lucky to have my first baby the same time they recieved theirs. What a special thing to be a mom with Sally. I can not express the influence she and Jeff have had in my life. Some of my sweetest memories are those spent with Jeff and Sally. I was also blessed to have Sally as my beehive advisor when I was 12. I'll never forget the scripture Alma 37:37 She ingrained that in my mind as such a young girl, and I love her for it. Sally, how often I will think of you and smile. I love you!

Your friend,

Emily Wilson

Dearest Sally,

Thank you for welcoming me into your heart and home. In the precious hours I spent with you this past month, I learned so very much.

You are an incredible woman, wife, mother and sister. You will be so greatly missed here on earth, but I believe from the very depths of my soul, that the Lord calls us when He needs us most. Your work here has changed our hearts permanently, and it will only be a a short time before we all reunite and celebrate eternity together.

I hope there aren't ANY gladiolas in heaven. You're right: they are ugly flowers. Tee hee.

Much love, my friend.
