Rita, Johnny, Sandy, Kelly, and Family, Sally was a Jewel that I loved. She was one of our favorite customers at our Beauty Salon for many years. She was a sweetheart to be around. Lots of laughs and fun. I have missed her at Church always coming around late at Meet and greet saying they just don’t give me enough time to get around to everybody.. Sally was one of my Favorite people. Rest in Peace Sally.

Sandy and Rita- I am just devastated by the loss of Aunt Sally. I have loved her all my life it seems. She was always so kind and gracious to me. When Uncle John and I used to visit her and Uncle Harold, she gave me her bed ( against my protests!) and even shared her little blue jar of Vick’s Salve with me! She took me to my very first Jack Daniel’s BBQ too. And she also introduced me to the Host of Christmas Past.
I will miss her laugh, her smile and the way she made you feel- loved and welcome. She was a very special lady and I am so glad I have so many wonderful memories of her.
She loved all of you so much! Prayers for you all and your families and Chris and Peggy. Our loss is Heaven’s gain.
With much love!
