Sally was a 1966 graduate of Rogers High School. She worked at Colonial Manor Hospital, Florence Hospital, for Dr. Darren Rowan, and for the last 15 years at Florence Surgery Center as a recovery technician.
Anyone who knew Sally, knows she loved people and loved her workplace and co-workers. She had a deep admiration for pets and they all knew she would take care of them. Pet sitting was also her favorite pastime. She had a flare for decorating and being stylish. Sally loved movies and her favorite actor was Robert Redford. To see Sally happiest was to know how much she loved her family, children and granddaughter, Ellie.
We know Sally has met all of her pets at the Rainbow Bridge before she met her Savior in Heaven.
