On November 12, 1982, she was united in marriage to David “Dave” Richter in Navarino. Sally worked at Kmart, Premier Bank in Bonduel and recently worked at Kwik Trip until retiring. She enjoyed all her jobs and considered her customers as friends. Sally was a member of Ascension Lutheran Church in Navarino. She enjoyed gardening, cooking, watching Packer games and tending to her flowers and birds.
