She was born and raised in Ohio, and grew up in a cave, as her father built a “cave home”. After graduating from high school, she worked as a short order cook at various restaurants. She lived in different places through the years as she traveled with her husband wherever his business took him. Eventually, they retired to Missouri and made their home in the Springfield and Lebanon areas. Later, she returned to Ohio.
We celebrate her life and know that Sally will be fondly remembered and greatly missed by all those who knew and loved her.
