     Sally was an active member in the community working for years at the Trueblood Performing Arts Center, and as a member of the Women’s Club, Quilters Club, and Book Club to name a few. Sally was an avid Green Bay Packer and Iowa Hawkeye fan which was easily seen on game days as she and her beloved dogs wore their supporting apparel. A tennis player, golfer, card player, and gardener she rarely sat idly and always kept active with various projects.
