She was graduate of Radford University, a gifted artist that shared her talents with the community and as a teacher in the Montgomery Public School System.

Sally was a beautiful sister-in-law to my wife Sidney Ann and me (Rudolph). Her husband Felix, my dear brother, and Sally were a marvelous compatible couple of love and joy all given to their children and grandchildren, indeed.
Sally, we shall always miss you; Bro Felix, may you find spiritual strength and sustenance at this time.
Dr. Rudolph and Sidney Ann Pierce, Attleboro, MA.
