Sally Ann Foster, born on December 6, 1937, in Wisconsin, passed away peacefully at her home in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on November 10, 2025. She leaves a legacy of love and commitment to her family and community.
Sally graduated from Bowler High School in Wisconsin, and throughout her professional life, she dedicated herself to her work as a payroll specialist at Marquette University, where she later enjoyed a fulfilling retirement. Her career was marked by diligence and a quiet professionalism that earned her the respect and admiration of her colleagues.
A woman of gentle nature, Sally was characterized by her quiet and shy personality. She devoted her life to tending to her family, ensuring their well-being and happiness. Her nurturing spirit extended into her personal interests; she found great joy in sewing, arts, and crafts, weaving creativity into the fabric of her daily life.

She is also remembered fondly as a dear sister by Ivan (Nancy) Heins. In addition to her immediate family, Sally is further survived by many nieces, nephews, and a host of other family members and friends whose lives she touched.
