Sally was a high spirited and independent woman. She received a Bachelor’s degree in Art from Illinois State University and paved the way for other women to get admitted into agriculture classes while attending. She absolutely adored animals and art. A big hobby of hers was art and she attended many county fairs, where she won many awards including top honors at the Sandwich Fair. When not drawing or playing piano, Sally was an excellent marksman, beating out men in some events.
