Sally is and will be deeply missed! She was the epitome of a loving care nurse! I feel honored to have been able to work with her! She was smart, skilled, warm and thoughtful! As a pediatric nurse at St. Clair Hospital, she was wonderful! Sally always treated our little ones with love and caring, plus she always remained acutely aware that their parents needed care too, so she was incredibly kind and generous with her attention to them too! I was proud to know Sally and to have her on our team. She taught us all alot about working hard but remembering to be kind and thoughtful to the entire family when their little one is ill. Sally will continue to live on in the hearts of all of us at St. Clair Hospital who knew and loved her, and also in the hearts of the many families she helped nurse back to health! We will continue to miss you!!!

Sally was a great nurse who loved her patients especially the little ones. She loved her kids and grandkids with a passion. She had a great sense of humor and a delightful laugh. She endured much hardship but persevered through it all. I'm grateful to have known and worked with her. May God bless her family with His comfort and peace and with joy in their memories.
