Sally was an incredibly courageous woman who battled cancer four times in 30 years. She was strong and full of hope. A loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend who always had enough of whatever you need...an extra place at the table, a tissue in her pocket, a bed to sleep in, a ride to spare, but mostly love. Her home was filled with the sweet smells of delicious treats. Her needles were always busy with quilts, sweaters. socks and outfits for her grandchildren. They were always made with love.

Sally was an employee of Caterpillar (Buucyrus Int) in South Milwaukee and an avid Wisconsin Badger fan.

In lieu of flowers, memorials to South Milwuakee United Methodist Church are appreciated.

Our special thanks to the staff at Aurora Sinai Medical Cenetr and the Vince Lombardi Cancer Center.
