Sally started working at St. Joseph's Indian School in Chamberlain.  She and her best friend Ms. Pat Bely roomed together for several years.  Sally first met her future husband "Charlie" Meyer at St Anthony's Church in Pukwana and were eventually married in 1964.

Sally had her son Michael on August 6, 1965 and was a very devoted and loving mother.  She took care of her family and enjoyed being a mom.  Her favorite thing in life was to be around family.  She enjoyed traveling when possible and loved shopping with her mother and sisters at Crazy Days in Mitchell and Chamberlain.  Card games at her mom and dad's house in Kimball were full of laughter and always funny stories.

Sally had lovely flower gardens and enjoyed decorating and gardening.  She was an excellent cook and enjoyed cooking.  She helped with the farming and animal care when needed and seemed to always stay busy.

She and Charlie enjoyed ballroom dancing for years, getting together frequently with Walter & Betty Swanson, Chester & Marie Pazour, Glen and Jeanie Olson, Ralph and Francis Mitchell, and Lionel and Sidney Hoffman and many other dancing friends.

Later in life she loved spoiling her three grandkids and created all sorts of cute clothes and outfits.  Sewing was fun for her, and she was great at it and enjoyed it a lot.  She loved the Lord and was a very sweet woman.
