Sally was born on January 17, 1988, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She was a lifelong resident of New Mexico. Sally’s three children were her reason for living, they were her pride and joy and her greatest accomplishment! She had a special bond with each of them. She was always so protective of them like a mama bear. Being with Kevin made her family complete. He made her truly happy and loved her unconditionally. 

She was a talented candy and sweets maker. She made the best chocolate covered strawberries. She enjoyed cooking. She had lots of bomb recipes, feeding her family and friends made her very happy. She loved being outdoors, she was one hell of a shot, and she wasn't afraid to get dirty and bait a hook with a worm when fishing. Sally was a jokester; she could make anyone laugh without even trying. You would leave with your cheeks and stomach hurting from laughing so hard when you were with her. She was a light in all our lives, people were drawn to her energy.

Sally will be laid to rest on Wednesday, September 28, 2022 at 11:00 am at Our Lady of Belen Memorial Gardens Cemetery located at 101-A N 10th St., 87002. Pot luck reception will follow.
