It is with deep sorrow that I say goodbye to a wonderful woman. Her grace, her smile, her love surrounded us all and made every one of us better for it. From first meeting in 1973 she was my go to girl. Bowling? Heck yes. Ceramics class? Why not. Stain glass class’sure. Welding class? Well okay. We did it all and loved every minute. I will miss deeply.
Sincere condolences to the family. Mom was the best.

Sally was one of the first people we met when we moved to Lake Forest, CA in 1972. Christmas Eve will always be special to our family because of all the wonderful times we had at the Oleskiewicz family home. Sally made us part of that family since ours was so far away. We are all saddened to hear of Sally’s passing but know she is happy being with Our Lord, her Eddie and Stan. Our condolences to Ed, Ellen and Darlene and the grandchildren & great-grandchildren. There is another bright star in the heavens now!
