Mom was born June 11, 1946 in the Municipality of Hanover, MB and grew up in Pansy. She was a very cheerful person and always enjoyed company and entertaining, cooking dancing, sewing, cross-stitching and gardening. Sally was an independent person who loved to help other people with anything possible. She was a wonderful cook and baker and especially loved to bake cinnamon buns (we'll miss them; they were always the best ). Sally's passion was her family.
