Sally’s life was spent full of creativity, adventure, and independence. As a young girl, she grew up on the farm in Arkansas with her grandmother, MaMa, as she was lovingly referred to. After she finished school, she left where she called home with the love and support of MaMa, aunts, and uncles, to start her adult journey in Tennessee. Throughout her life, she conquered the world one adventure at a time from her travels in the states to overseas; she always made her mark! Sally made Louisville home and spent much of her life with her family. She loved to do anything with her grandkids! She would get down on the floor and play, chase you around for hide-and-seek, play Marco Polo in the pool, do and teach them how to do a craft so they could make special gifts for the people they loved that had so much more meaning to them than anything you could buy. She proudly retired from the Courier Journal where she worked in the classifieds on auto sales around the Louisville area. She loved to sew, quilt, garden, cook, knit, paint, really anything that could get the beauty she saw in the world onto some type of medium from clothes to china. She was also an avid football fan for her Razorbacks and Cardinals! On every beautiful, sunny afternoon, she would sit in her sunroom and watch the birds with golf on in the background.

Sally was a firecracker! Full of life and spunk, she loved fiercely and did anything she could for others. While we all will miss her spunky and sassy presence every day; much like her life, her memories are full of color, life, and joy!

A celebration of life will be held for Sally at Evergreen Funeral Home March 8th, 2025. Visitation will be from 2pm-4pm with a memorial following at 4pm. The memorial will be a tribute to Sally that anyone is welcome to join where we will share fond memories and experiences from her life.
