Sally worked hard to put herself through nursing school. Her entire career was with Theda Clark Hospital as a registered nurse. She started in the hospital's dialysis center and retired from the Cardiac Cath Lab. She enjoyed being outdoors and working on her flowers and yard. She also enjoyed getting away and relaxing at her home in Waupaca with her dog. Most of all, she loved spending time with her grandchildren. Sally also looked forward to spending time with her high school friends and nursing co-workers. She will be remembered for her incredibly witty sense of humor and for the fact that she always put other's needs in front of her own.
