Sally graduated from Emma Willard in 1958 and went on to earn her Bachelor's degree in Philosophy from Brown University and a Masters in Education from U of M.
Sally was a long-time resident of Chelsea. She taught many years as both a private and public-school elementary teacher. Sally authored the first iteration of a History of Chelsea, a story book for elementary students. She was known to many as an avid mystery story reader, plant enthusiast and dog lover. For 44 years she lived out in the country and would religiously walk her dogs every afternoon--festooned in hunters’ orange--oftentimes battling the elements. We don’t know how her dogs felt about this. Fortunately, her family spent quality time reminiscing with her during her last days at the hospital. She has always been there for her two sons and grandkids and supported them unsparingly.
