Sally loved family and friends.  Calls, cards and lunches always kept her connected with family and friends.  Social gatherings were important to her.  She demonstrated great care for others.  Sally loved to be active outdoors and to travel.  She had a passion for walking and camping and hiking in the Adirondacks. Collecting blueberries on top of Mt. Arab was memorable.   She was always willing to spread her wings to visit with family and friends, see her grandkids, or watch sporting events.  Yaya and Papa were always the first in the stands.

On July 3rd there will be a service at Whitehaven Cemetery and later that day a Celebration of Life.  Details to follow here at a later date.
