Sally Webb Trott Pitchford

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved Sally Webb Trott Pitchford of Vincent, Alabama, who went home to her Lord and Savior after a long illness. Sally was originally from Chelsea, Alabama, and she carried her roots with pride—always a “Trott Girl,” through and through.

Sally was preceded in death by her parents, Lawrence Webb Trott, Sr. and Olivia Jane Trott;

and her sister, Vera Trott Trejo.

She is survived by her loving husband of 14 years, Sheldon Pitchford; her brother, Lawrence Webb Trott, Jr.; her nephews, Arron and Nathaniel; her brother-in-law, Gabriel Trejo; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends who loved her deeply and will miss her always.

A Graveside service will be 10:00am on Monday, February 16, 2026 at Vincent City Cemetery.

Sally deeply loved her husband, her family, and her friends. She was quick-witted—always ready with a comeback— and her laugh and smile could light up any room. Sally truly loved to make people laugh, and beneath her humor was a heart of gold.

Sally found joy in the simple things. She enjoyed crocheting, reading, crossword puzzles, and cooking a good southern meal. She loved fried chicken, Coca-Cola, key lime pie,

and banana pudding. She was a fisherwoman among fisherwomen— she absolutely loved to fish, coming by it honestly like so many in her family.

Sally dearly loved her pets—her fur babies, Peaches and Tiger Lily. She loved being outdoors and had a special gift for noticing beauty in the world around her. Sally could name every flower, tree, shrub, and bird she passed, often stopping to admire a bloom and placing a flower in her long beautiful hair. She shared a love for peonies with her mother.

Her favorite colors were red, white, and Chelsea blue.

One of Sally’s greatest life accomplishments —one she was truly proud of— was graduating from Chelsea High School.

Sally poured love into her family. She was a devoted sitter and caregiver to her Uncle Boyce L. Trott, Sr. (preceded in death), and she took pride in the time and tenderness she gave him. She also helped family with their businesses and homes over the years—always willing, always a helping hand.

Sally also spoke with pride about “helping raise” her cousins, Autumn Trott Stanford and Richard Taylor Emery (preceded in death). She cherished the years she babysat them when they were children, and she held those memories close.

The family would like to give special recognition to James and Sherry Frost, Sally’s dear neighbors and friends, who opened their home to Sally and Sheldon, treating them as their own and caring for Sally, alongside Sheldon, in her final days. Sherry considered Sally a dear sister, lovingly referring to one another as “Ethel and Lucy,” and her kindness and devotion, along with James will never be forgotten.

Sally’s message to her family was simple and pure, “Tell everyone to be happy and they are all loved.”

In learning more about Sally’s life, we also learned she had never been to the beach. If you’d like to honor her, the family invites you to do something in her name: take a quiet moment by the water, feel the sun on your face, watch the waves, and think of Sally.

In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes acts of kindness in Sally’s memory—checking on someone who’s lonely, helping a neighbor, offering a meal, or doing something gentle for an animal in need.

She leaves behind a legacy of quick wit, laughter, and deep love for her husband, family, and friends.
