She was very outgoing, physically fit and loved traveling with Al, spending time with her grandchildren, art and crafts, nature and animals. Sally was preceded in death by her husband, Allan, along with her siblings Russell, Richard, Ralph, Irene, Ruth Armstrong and June Poland. There are no calling hours. Her burial will be alongside her husband in Florida National Cemetery, Bushnell, FL.

Our family sends a heartfelt thanks to all the staff at Seabury Meadows and Chestelm Health Care for all the good care they provided our mother over the past decade as her Alzheimer's disease progressed.
