Sally McCall Henry, 87, died Friday, May 23, 2014, in Seattle. A memorial
gathering will be held at 3 p.m. Sunday, June 1, at First Congregational Church, 361 17th St. SE,

Sally was the daughter of Lawrence Earl ("Hy") and Pearle ("Ann") Henry of Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
The following was written by Sally:
"To thank all of those who, by their love and loyalty, enriched my life. My great love was dogs, especially German shepherds. You may remember Guy, Max, Timber, Tyler or Quinn. I am pictured with Quinn.
West Okoboji Lake in northwest Iowa claimed another part of my heart and summers brought me back to that special place time and time again. Lake friends surrounded me with care.
Born in Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, I attended Franklin High School and the University of Iowa with studies in physical education and English. Later degrees in special education and counseling came from the University of Washington. Many of my students were special. From the Tucson, Ariz., classes and tennis and fencing clubs (1949-54); to Wuerzburg and Munich, Germany, teaching American Army children (1954-56); to Seattle at James Monroe, Ingraham, West Seattle, Hale and Cleveland (1957-88).
I was blessed with loving parents and a wonderful brother, George; Mae the mother of his sons, Jerry (Jennifer) and Jeff (Carolyn); and grandnieces, Kalese (John Sheldahl) and Kestrel.
My loving family was also extended by Kay Shive Henry, Polly Pagliai (Armand, Tony, Jaclyn), Phil Shive (Cinde and Meredith) and Mike Shive (Becky, Landon and
Carson).
High school friends never lost contact. The Ambassadors made a difference. There was a bond with those involved with rescue dogs and gardening.
For those who still are living, may hope and love surround each moment of each day. Thank you for
being a part of who I was.
Remembrances can be made to any animal rescue group, locally, nationally or internationally, that
honors animals with respect, care and love."
