From 1962 – 1975 Sal pursued her career at Hawthorne Center in Northville Mi. Sally took an extended time away from her medical career to be a stay-at-home mom for Doni. Upon re- entry into the medical field, she finished her career in Child Physiatry at U of M.  In her youth Sally enjoyed baseball and basketball, but always had a love for horses. She rode and showed dressage, enjoyed trail riding, and just caring for her horses in any fashion. She also loved all, of the various cats and dogs that were so fortunate to weave their way into her life. Sally was comforted by her faith In Jehovah while struggling with the disease that required great strength. She knew where to draw her strength from, and more importantly she knew the future to hold a much better and perfect place. Sally will be greatly missed by all who knew her. She had a beautiful spirit, kindly cared for so many and has left behind many wonderful memories and an example to be followed.
