Sally loved to nurture and care for all those she came into contact with, but especially her family.

She had an immense passion for cooking, whether it be Nopales in the Summer or her famous Tamales in the Winter. She loved to share her recipes, using only her fingers and palms as measuring units. She was an amazing storyteller with vivid tales of her days in Tubac with the Gomez cousins and years spent on the Federico Ranch in Florence. She loved sharing these tales, but above all else she was an excellent listener.

Sally was a woman of faith until the end. She spent her years studying the Bible and she truly loved sharing the word of Jehovah with others.

Sally was a beloved Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Tia and friend to so many who will truly miss her.
