Member Obituary

Sally Meyers

 Sally Meyers peacefully passed away August 25, 2011, at Abbott Northwestern Hospital from sudden heart failure. She was hospitalized the day before with a bruised and swollen leg from a fall. The fall was characterized by Sally as a "pickle" she had gotten into by herself . She was preceded in death by her husband Oliver and left three children, Nancy, Jody and Bruce as well as numerous relatives and friends.

We know Sally as a gifted porcelain painter, member and teacher. She had a unique gentle and gracious style suiting her personality. Did you know she hummed quietly when she painted? Also, remember the times she said washes were essential and do not overdo your painting. Though she would wear a face mask when using solvents, golds, lusters and enamels, they were all considered "stinky stuff". She was kind when offering criticism, but yet feisty when she felt an injustice.

Sally trained as an art teacher at the University of Minnesota. Teaching art to junior and senior students was both rewarding and "challenging", especially to those who took art as an easy credit. During her time as a substitute teacher, she was assigned everywhere - even the boy's PE class with locker room duty. You should have heard her opinion about that!

Besides the raising of three children and caring for elderly relatives, Sally volunteered at the Institute for the Blind. She played the piano and organ at church while holding other jobs and volunteer positions. In addition to her porcelain memberships, she was Eastern Star and supported activities at the Shrine and all her husband's WW II Air Force Squadron activities.

Sally's entire painted porcelain collection (and there was a lot) was distributed among appreciative family members.
