Sally was a member of the CWL for over 60 years, and an active member of both St. John's and St. Mary's parishes in Kitchener. Sally was loved by her many nieces and nephews, who remember her as a spirited, strong and sparkly woman. She was a constant at family gatherings with a drink in hand, a story to tell and was always the last to leave. As a devoted woman of faith, our family takes comfort knowing Sally's larger than life presence will carry on in the afterlife and in all our hearts and memories. Special thanks to Beechwood Manor, her home for the last four years, and the Stroke and Palliative teams at Grand River and Freeport Hospitals.
