homemaker with a large

garden along with beauti-

ful flowers, and was

known for her gladiolas.

She entered many area

floral contests and won

many awards and floral

vases. She was a great

seamstress. She enjoyed

painting classes and had

an appreciation for art in

general. Sally and Mic

enjoyed traveling the

country in their van.

They collected interesting

antiques and western art.

They enjoyed many

summers at their log ca-

bin lake home on Lake

Metigoshe. In 2011, she

started spending her

winters at her Queen’s

Bay condo overlooking

The London Bridge in

Lake Havasu City, Ariz.

She enjoyed special time

with her family, and so-

cial time, including line

dancing, with her many

new friends. Sally moved

in Sept. 2021. She loved

spending time with her

family, daughters,
