Ladies and gentlemen,
We gather here today to celebrate the life of an extraordinary woman, a loving wife, a nurturing mother, a cherished friend, and an invaluable member of our community, Sally.
Sally was a humble and gentle soul who quietly achieved so much in her life and made an indelible impact on all who were blessed enough to have known her. While today is a day of sorrow and deep sadness, it's also a day to recognize and honor the extraordinary legacy Sally has left behind for us.

As a wife to Boomer, Sally was fiercely devoted, placing her family's well-being above all else. Together, they created a beautiful life and a family that was their pride and joy. They were a testament to what truly unconditional love looks like: unwavering, boundless, and fiercely loyal.
Sally was a loving and devoted mother to Pavo, Chloe, Elias, and Victor. A guiding force, a pillar of support, and an endless source of love to her children. She never wavered in her belief in them and her dedication to nurturing them into the remarkable individuals they have grown into.
One of the many qualities that made Sally truly exceptional was her innate ability to find joy and contentment in life's simple pleasures. Our fond and seemingly trivial memories of her never once bringing beer to gatherings reflect her ability to appreciate and celebrate life with in its simplest forms.
Sally’s passion for community service and her active involvement in our town council are testaments to her unwavering commitment and dedication to making a difference. Her desire to better our little town and the lives of everyone in it will continue to inspire us all for years to come.
Amidst these achievements and acts of love, Sally embraced an attitude best exemplified by a line of a song called “Closer to Fine” by the Indigo Girls. It goes, “There’s more than one answer to these questions pointing me in a crooked line, and the less I seek my source for some definitive, the closer I am to fine.” This beautiful message perfectly encapsulates Sally's approach to life, as she navigated its twists and turns warmly, humbly, and with an ever-present sense of grace.
As we pay homage to Sally’s earthly journey, let us remember the love, the laughter, and the happiness that she so generously bestowed upon those around her. Sally may have departed from our presence, but she lives on in our hearts and memories.
In closing, may we all strive to live our lives embracing the wisdom of the ‘closer to fine’ mentality. Let us endeavor to embody the same values of compassion, humility, and gratitude that Sally so gracefully represented. May her life be an inspiration for all of us as we walk forward, carrying her legacy with us.
Rest in peace, Sally. Your bright and shining soul will never be forgotten and will continue to inspire us all.
