Sallie Viersen 1942- 2024 On November 22nd, 2024, after living a long and loving life, Sally passed away peacefully while sleeping.

Born December 28th, 1942, in Cheyenne, Wyoming, she is survived by her husband of 60 years, Ben, son Jim (Randi), daughter Jennifer, sister Donna (Jim), many grandchildren, great grandchildren, nephews, nieces; and was preceded in death by her son Joe and sister Ilene.

Sally was an unforgettable presence. You could always count on her; no matter the day or time, she would be there for you. She had the ability to bring people together, and still does, through the memories of her that we share. She had this amazingly bright smile that no matter what kind of mood you were in, you couldn't help but smile with her. She loved to laugh and could find humor in many things. A simple phone call could last for hours and everyone would leave in a better place.

Sally loved nature and found peace with tending her houseplants, planting her garden, bird watching or simply walking through the Botanic Gardens. One place she adored was Holliday Park, which she only lived across the street from. She was very passionate with every aspect of her life, with her family being the most important. She loved to share her stories and had many anecdotes that would recall her knowledge of history. Once you got her telling stories, she could not be stopped, but that was the best part.

Coming from a very large family she never ran out of love for all of us. If you're family, then you were hers without question.
