Sally was born on September 10, 1951 to Ruth Eleanor (Joe) Atwood and Charles Robert Atwood.  Sally was born and raised in the Riverside section of Haverhill. She attended Haverhill Public Schools and was a proud member of the Haverhill High School Marching Band.  Following high school, Sally earned an Associate’s Degree from Northern Essex Community College.  

Sally enjoyed a long career as an administrative assistant in the Haverhill Public School System retiring in 2014. Upon retirement, Sally remained active with many activities including golf, mahjong, and traveling with her husband. She also cherished periodic lunch dates with her many friends.  Sally’s happy place was Wells, Maine. She was at peace the moment she crossed the Portsmouth Bridge into Maine.
