Sally Marie Reesman, a beloved daughter, sister, and aunt, passed away peacefully on her 65th birthday, December 16, 2024, in the warmth of her memories and the embrace of those who loved her. Born on December 16, 1959, in Racine, Wisconsin, Sally radiated a light that touched all who were fortunate enough to cross her path.
Sally was a bright soul, full of joy, with a heart that cherished her family and friends. She was empowered by Careers Industries, which recognized her remarkable abilities and unwavering spirit. Sally found purpose and pride in her work at Pizza Hut in Burlington, where she became a cherished presence and the longest-serving employee. Her warmth and dedication transformed each interaction with her colleagues and customers into lasting connections.
A passionate advocate for inclusion and celebration, Sally proudly participated in the Special Olympics, reveling in the camaraderie and joy of community. She found immense pleasure in the simple joys of life-running errands, embarking on car trips with her parents, and creating treasured memories that would last a lifetime.

I met Sally at Mt Carmel when my mom was there. She was always so nice and friendly to be with. She kept my mom company quite often. I’m sure she will be missed.
