<Photo credit: Candice Hall.> A lowland Savannah native, Sallyzee married a Yankee publisher from New York. A Duke grad, she always cheered for Coach K’s teams come tournament time and followed Blue Devil players where ever they landed in the pros. A champion for early childhood education, she passed that love on to her own children. In “retirement” moving from the Hudson Valley to the Rocky Mountains, she became our beloved “Deacon Sally” at GSS Episcopal for a season and a time. Diminutive in stature, she always fiercely advocated for the last and the least. An acerbic wit, she never allowed that to become a cloak for maliciousness. Gracious and above all kind, she was beloved by many who remember her as mentor and friend.
It was an honor to have known you, Sallyzee. You turned each one around you into a better person: Seeing further, understanding more deeply, emulating more fully, the One we all adore. Well done good and faithful servant. May your memory be a blessing. As long as life shall last, you will never be forgotten.
To borrow from Hamlet, [We] shall not see [her] like again.”
