Sally grew up attending Christ Lutheran Church and was a graduate of Kiser High School class of 1957. Sally was a cosmetologist for a short period of time before beginning her career at Ohio Bell where she eventually retired in 1990 after more than 32 years of service.

She was a member of the Telephone Pioneers of America. Sally was a talented artist, and won several awards for her beautiful painted ceramic pieces.

Sally enjoyed gardening, and especially loved sunflowers. She could often be found attending a craft show, on a shopping trip or an outing with friends and family. She loved to cook for her family, and made the best cabbage rolls and peanut butter fudge around! Sally was a sports enthusiast and loved to cheer on THE Ohio State Buckeyes and the Cincinnati Reds. Sally had a soft spot for animals, and loved her granddogs and bird watching. She enjoyed traveling, attending dances, and making memories with her beloved husband Bob, before his passing in 2010. Sally was a wonderful and loving mother and grandmother. She was one of the sweetest and kindest women in the world, and loved to care for her family and friends.
