Sally was a feisty lady who NEVER wore black. She was always in pastels and always smiling. Her husband George died in 1953 and she never remarried.
I am not sure what year she moved to St Petersburg, FL and had a dry cleaning business. After retirement she moved to Lakeland, FL where she was very involved with her Church. She helped with mailings and whatever else she could do. Sally drove well into her 90's. She once told me that was the hardest thing she had to give up - her car! When they moved her to a nursing home environment she did not mind at all. The Church bus picked her up for services and she told me she did not need a clock since all she had to do was watch for the wheelchairs going down the hall to know it was time to eat! She did have a great sense of humor.
The nurse aide helped her clean up and get her ready for bed and asked her if she wanted to sit up for awhile or lay down. Aunt Sally told her she would lay down. The aide helped her and then went to help another patient. When she came back a while later Aunt Sally had passed away.
Just like her life she passed with no hoopla or fanfare. I still miss her after all these years. I think one of the main things I miss is her letters. They were GREAT! I still have some that she sent to me over the years and get them out when I need a chuckle. She will always be part of my life.
She was one of 12 children. The names as I know them:
Rosie Marshall Trout, Tolbee T, George K, James F, Naldia Marshall Wellman, Bessie G, William F Jr, Sherman, Norma Marshall Pruitt, Ruby, Elizabeth (passed when around 18 yrs old),
