A homemaker at heart, Sally's love for her family and her home was boundless. She was known for her many talents and passions, including gardening, crafting, dancing, and cooking. Sally had an infectious sense of humor and was always ready to make those around her laugh. She filled her home with joy, warmth, and music, often dancing and singing to the tunes that lifted her spirits.
