Sally M. Kessler

Sally (Stilp) Kessler, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family on Monday, July 14, 2025. She was pre-deceased by her devoted husband, John Kessler.
Sally was the cherished mother of J. Stephen (Jean) Kessler, Jean (Ernie) Legge, William (Beverly) Kessler, and Thomas (Michele) Kessler. She was pre-deceased by her children, Rosanne Taylor and David Kessler, as well as her parents, Irving and Charlotte Stilp, and her brothers, Thomas Stilp and Donald Stilp.
She is lovingly remembered by her 18 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren, whose presence and pictures brought her joy.
Born and raised in Neenah, Wisconsin, Sally moved with her family to Connecticut to support John's career. There, she embraced the challenge of raising six children and found joy in coffee chats with friends. As John's retirement approached, they returned to the Neenah area, where they cherished their remaining years together.
Sally was a dedicated housewife, managing her household with grace and love. She had a special fondness for cardinals, often finding comfort and inspiration in their presence.
