Sally Joy Rux – age 76, passed away on April 6, 2023 in Spokane, WA. Sally was born on November 21, 1946 at Wilbur Washington to Walter and Mary Joy (Llewellyn) Rux. Sally was a life-long resident of Wilbur where she ran Rux Insurance, Inc. alongside her parents for many years prior to taking it over upon their retirement. Prior to the insurance business, Sally had a short career in banking, working at Fidelity Mutual in Spokane. Sally graduated from Wilbur High school before attending Pacific Lutheran University where she received her BA degree in Business Management, spending one year studying at the University of Hawaii during that time. Sally enjoyed traveling to Mexico and Hawaii (anywhere warm) and skiing at Mt. Spokane. She had served as the President of the Spokane Humane Society and was a Bloomsday veteran, one year completing it by being pushed in a wheelchair while recovering from a broken foot. She also was an ardent fan of Neil Diamond and John Denver, and of course loved cats. Sally is survived by a sister Mary Kay Peterson, nieces Mary Ann Peterson and Bernice Joy Schneider
