Sarah Louise Salvadia (Sally) was born on May 17 th, 1942, in Liverpool, Pennsylvania to the late Simon Starh and Helen Guldner. She was the widow of John A Salvadia Sr. who passed in April 2001. Sally moved from Liverpool to Harrisburg, PA where she graduated from John Harris High School. After raising her sons, Sally worked a few jobs until becoming employed by the Commonwealth of PA Department of Revenue where she eventually retired. Sally enjoyed crafting and working in the yard of her house that she treasured in Camp Hill. Sally loved spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren and extended family. Many Sunday afternoons the sounds of boys and girls playing sports could be heard coming from the backyard of her house.

Sally is survived by her sons John A Salvadia Jr and his wife Emma D Burgos and son Rodney Salvadia and his wife Melissa Salvadia. Sally had many grandchildren and great-grandchildren: Rod's sons Michael, Nicholas and Ethan. Daughter Adley and extended family Laure, Alex, Tyler and Regan. Nick and Danielle's children Everette, Maverick, Beckett and Vallie. Emma and John's granddaughter Aria.

Sally will be missed by her loving sister Mary as they were very close.

Sally was the definition of kindness and was loved by her family, friends and coworkers. Her son Rod best described her by saying "I've never heard her say anything unkind about anyone ever". The passing of Sally has already saddened more souls than she could have ever imagined.

Services will be held on Monday, August 19 th, 2024, at the Sullivan Funeral Home located at 51 North Enola Drive, Enola, PA 17025. Visitation will occur from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. with a brief service to follow.

The Sullivan Funeral Home is honored to serve the Salvadia family.
