In her 80?s she took up painting and was an active member and volunteer at St. Augustine Cathedral Parish. Sally was a fiercely independent person and showed flashes of her spunkiness to her last days. She had a generous and caring spirit and was a person of deep faith. She had a smile that could melt an iceberg. Sally will be missed by all who knew her. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 2:00 PM on Friday at St. Augustine Cathedral, 542 W.
