She worked as a para educator at Hardwick Elementary School and Walden Elementary during the school season. During the summer she was employed at Carmen's Creamy in Lyndonville and the Magic Spoon Bakery in Hardwick. Recently she worked at Fontaine Sawmill in East Montpelier.

Sally attended St. Paul's Church in Barton; she loved spending time and caring for her grandson and her mother. Sally enjoyed animals, especially her fur baby and best friend, Jack.
