Born on April 22, 1963, Sally brought energy and dedication to every part of her life. She attended Johnson Elementary, Highland High School, and the University of Kentucky, building a foundation for a career centered on learning and teaching. She served as a Professor of English at Cincinnati State and also served in the Army Reserves from 1990 to 2000.

Sally’s life reflected the many things she loved. She enjoyed animals, trivia, swimming, reading, writing, teaching, country music, and gardening. Her connection to Fort Thomas First Presbyterian Church was also an important part of her life.

Sally is remembered by her sister, Marti Jane Dunn, and Marti’s husband, Jerry; her sister-in-law, Julie; her cousin, Judy Baumann; and many nieces, nephews, and close friends.
