Sally had fond memories of her time at the Old Training School of Pikeville, graduated from Pikeville High School in 1957, and attended Pikeville College's School of Nursing. Sally shared ownership of Goff Furniture Gallery with husband Roy. She was a fan of history, especially Pikeville's history and was often called upon to share old pictures and stories of local families. She was a friend to animals, and fed many hungry strays over the years, including a family of opossum! Sally was known for her integrity, her kindness, and her irreverent sense of humor. She adored her grandsons, who already miss her, along with the rest of her family and friends who love her.
