Sarah Ann Mellor

Sarah Ann, “Sally” Mellor, was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She passed away on Monday, February 26, 2024 surrounded by her family.

Sally was born on September 10, 1943, in Williamsburg, Virginia, the daughter of Martin and Sarah Hess. She grew up in Moorestown, NJ where she fell in love and married David, her husband of 60 years. Together they raised 6 children.

Throughout her life, Sally maintained a sweet and simple presence that gathered the trust and hearts of many. A passionate teacher, her kind demeanor will continue to nurture love and faith in others.

Having the heart of a true servant, Sally selflessly cared for many friends and family throughout the years. Much joy came to her through serving others. She was a strong woman of faith—a true example of Christlike love, allowing grace and welcoming the hand of friendship to all who crossed her path.

She was preceded in death by both of her parents and her daughter, Amy.
