Sally was a very hard worker who often held multiple jobs to support and raise her children. She retired from Marsh Pharmacy in Lafayette, Indiana. One of Sally’s favorite things to do was go to the beach and soak up the sun’s rays. She also enjoyed reading and, most of all, spending time with her family.
