Sally was a passionate gardener who created beautiful showcases of colour and scent in each of the homes she and Norman lived in. Every guest to their home left with a bouquet.

Sally will be loved and cherished forever by her children Sharyn Brown (Gerry Nufer), Hugh Brown (Colleen), Valerie Steinbach (Gord), Lorna Sarah (Ed Frere) and Robert Brown (Elena). She will hold a special place in the hearts of her five grandsons and always treasured by her eleven granddaughters and eleven great grandchildren with two more on the way.
