Sally was a star high school basketball player and enjoyed traveling to basketball tournaments. She went to work in Detroit at the Union Guardian Trust Company where she met and married Harold Thiemann in 1920. The couple moved to Hartford, Conn. where she enjoyed golf and activities in her church. Mr. Thiemann died in 1955 and Sally moved to St. Petersburg in 1963.

She celebrated her birthday with her niece Marjorie Patterson, her great-nephew Mark Patterson, and 30 members of Grace Lutheran Church. -- We think that living 100 years is worth our taking notice.
