  Sally Dodwell, a remarkable and absolutely brilliant woman, was born on August 24, 1946, in Peterborough, Ontario. She passed away peacefully on April 17, 2025, in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Her academic background included a Bachelor of Science, demonstrating her commitment to education and personal growth.
  Sally's interests extended beyond her professional life; she was a talented painter and found joy in crafting exquisite beaded jewelry. These hobbies not only showcased her artistic abilities but also reflected her vibrant personality and love for beauty in everyday life.

  She is survived by her cousins, Sally Tibbett (Richard), Diana Chestnut, Jack Williams and Barbara Barker (George) who have all cherished the bond they shared with her. Sally was predeceased by her beloved parents, John Dodwell and Opal Dodwell, who shaped her with their love and guidance throughout her life.
