Sally was a member for many years of the Fruitland Mesa Club out of Crawford, CO. When she moved to Montrose, she donated her 40 cup coffee maker to the club. I think of her every Christmas when we use it for our Festival.

Sally was a long standing member of the Fruitland Mesa Women's Club. She participated in many of our activities. She volunteered whenever she could and was always a faithful helper at our Memorial Dinner and our after Thanksgiving Craft sale. She was one that I could count on. We will miss her smiling face always.

Sally was a sweet and kind person. She loved to sing; she loved to write and above all, she loved her family. She was a wonderful mother-in-law and even better grandmother. I'm glad to have known her and had her and Bill in my life.

Sally lived with us when I was ten years old in Germany. I used to pretend she was my big sister and she would protect me against any bullies. And she did! She also wrote beautiful poetry that became Christmas cards for my family. She and Uncle Bill visited us in Sonoma, Ca and here in Anacortes, Washington. Visits filled with laughter and love. I miss her visits and talks tremendously and will always cherish her memory. RIP my lovely aunt.

Sandra Henson Graham-..-I am seldom at a loss for words, but sitting here now and typing my feelings about Sally, my twin sister, I find myself at that loss. What a wonderful sister. She was so witty and clever, a great poet, and along with all this very loving and caring. All her poetry has been so beautiful and meaningful. I am so thankful for my collection of it. It will always be cherished. Sally was so strong during all her health issues. I was always so proud of her faith and strength during these difficult times. I pray for her happiness in her home above.

My now husband was traveling for work out to Las Vegas and on our way out we stopped in Colorado first so he could meet my cousin Robin in Denver. Then we took off for Aunt Sally's. We rented a car, parked his semi and went to their place for lunch and dinner. Tom got to meet her for the first time. I just had to laugh because he didn't know he was on a speaker snoring and Aunt Sally was laughing about it the whole time. Then in 2020 we went to California for his work and we took and drove the 800 miles in a day to see her and back to California the next. She kind of guilted us into it since we passed through Colorado on our way out but we had to get there first so we made that special trip on his days off. I am very thankful that we did that. Tom and I enjoyed our lunch with them.

Sally was one of the boisterous bunch of Henson cousins.
She was the most fun loving of the group, so a favorite of mine. I recently saw a picture of Sally & Bill’s wedding. I was the 12 year old standing on the steps to throw rice and best wishes as the happy couple emerged from the church.
In the summer of ‘64 I loaded up my new VW bug to move to California. Jennifer accompanied me to spend time visiting Sally & Bill in Colorado. We spent Fourth of July with you. I have a picture of Brian as a toddler waving a sparkler. What fun we had those few days: driving up to Pikes Peak, watching Bill train a new hunting dog, being with Sally so full of life & love & fun. I’ll never forget how much she complimented & encouraged me when I showed her the contents of my art portfolio!
Her enthusiastic joy of life with her Lord & family continued to bless me as we corresponded throughout the years.
I’m so pleased that Chloe & I were able to drive to Crawford for your 60th Anniversary. What a blessing to be with you & the family on that joyous day!
I may have tears of sorrow now, but I look forward to when they will be tears of joy at our next reunion in heaven.
Rest In Peace my dear, dear cousin Sally.

I was devastated when I received the news that Grandma passed away. It didn’t seem real at first, I thought I would just pick up the phone in a few days and be able to talk to her and let her listen to her great-grandchildren at play. It didn’t feel fair to have had such a short time with her after years of not getting to know her. But now I cherish every moment spent with her in person, and every conversation held over the phone. Even our very last one where very few words were said. I replay fond memories of time spent with her when I was a child and staying the night with Grandma and Grandpa; the time that Grandpa was building something in a room, the smell of the wood and the saw dust, and in another room Grandma making tuna salad sandwiches, then later that afternoon learning how to build a puzzle from a patient and loving teacher. One of my greatest treasures is knowing my two children and my husband got to meet her, and were blessed with her spunk, spirit, and love. I don’t often feel alone, but I feel alone even less knowing Grandma is in Heaven watching over all of her loved ones. I miss you every day Grandma, thank you for everything!

Mom was a daughter, Aunt, Nurse, Wife, Mother. Grandmother and Great grandmother, Mom was funny and diffenately a social butterfly. Mom was a teacher of sorts. now she has a new job being an angel and plying kickball in a lily field, looking down at all of us as she awaits us in our spots in Heaven.

I really enjoyed any time that Aunt Sally was able to travel out to Ohio. In the fall of 2007, on their visit to Ohio, Aunt Sally and Uncle Bill and myself talked of a possible Indians vs Rockies World Series that year. Well, at least the Rockies held up their end of this match up. Then in summer of 2012 Aunt Sally was able to meet my daughter, Karena, on another visit. I will always be thankful for the zoom call with Aunt Sally and Uncle Bill last May for their anniversary.
