Sally Hale

Sally taught the first grade class at Cedar View Christian School from 1984 - 1999 and was an active member of Buffalo Ridge Baptist Church. She loved all animals, and was especially partial to the American Eskimo breed. She helped rescue many animals in need, helping them to find better lives in caring homes. She never went long without a furry companion at her side.

Survivors include her son John W. Hale and daughter-in-law Julie Rushing; sister Susy Sanders; brother Bobby Dail; nieces Kristen Clevidence, Stephanie Sanders, and Shelby Sanders; and nephew Austin Dail.

Sally will be laid to rest in the Garden of Eternal Life in East Lawn Memorial Park during a Graveside Service on Friday February 19, 2021, beginning at 2:00pm. The service will be officiated by Rev. John Herdman.

These heroes have seen the worst of this disease and deserve our continued diligence in taking appropriate precautions to minimize the risk of infecting our loved ones and those most at risk.
