Sally was born on August 14 ^th 1928 in Kingman, Az to Loren A. Lewis and Katherine V. Delgardo  Lewis. Sally was born with severe spinal bifida. The Doctors told her parents that if Sally survived that she would not walk, talk or have any quality of life. Despite the Doctors prognosis she flourished and went on to live a long fulfilling life. As a child Sally loved spending time on her grand parents dairy farm in Kingman, Az. She also adored her father, she was his pride and joy. She was just a little girl when she lost her Daddy in a tragic accident but always knew that she would see her Daddy again. She loved visiting with her siblings Arthur, George and Karen and enjoyed talking about their childhood.

Sally had 4 children Richard, Debra, Glen and LuAnne, she was so proud and in love with them. She traveled to Germany, Paris, Switzerland and Austria. She also traveled to her favorite places around the country with her best friend Martine Beckstead whom she loved with all of her heart. Now will get to sit at the table talking, carry on their long conversations and continue to travel in Heaven like they did here on Earth.

Sally’s greatest joy was being around her family. She loved to have barbeques, go camping, attend family reunions and going to Utah Jazz games.  She always wanted to be involved with in every event in her children’s, grandchildren’s, great-grandchildren’s and great-great grand children’s lives. She attended births, school functions, sports games, dance recitals, graduations and weddings.  She really enjoyed her time she spent at the Magna Senior center. She loved spending time talking with her friends, going on field trips and having bowling tournaments on the Nintendo Wee. She also loved her dogs George and Audrey. They never left her side all the way to the end.

Her favorite job she ever had was being a foster grandma for special needs children. She worked at Jordan Valley and Hartvigsen, which are school for children with disabilities. She adored every child she worked with and they adored her back. She received many awards for the work she did at these schools. Sally also volunteered at the Magna CAP Center where she also received many awards.
