Age 84 - Burial October 11, 2010
Sally Patricia Connally Hardie was a direct link with the earliest settlers in what is now Atlanta. Her great-great grandfather, David Connally, settled at East Point in 1810. His grandson, Dr. Elijah, married the daughter of Governor Joseph E. Brown, so Sally was the great-granddaughter of Georgia's Civil War Governor.
After graduation from Vassar College she returned to live in Atlanta. She was a member of the Atlanta Junior League and the Georgia Colonial Dames. She was a contributing supporter of the High Museum of Art and the Atlanta History Center.
In 1952, she married Donald Hardie in the chapel at Emory University where her father was a Trustee. Donald is a Scotsman who served in the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders. With him she lived where the regiment was stationed—in Austria, North Germany and the north of Scotland.
After the army, they moved to Humbie, south of Edinburgh in Scotland, where she lived for 54 years. She seemed the typical Southern Belle—elegant, charming and vivacious. She was a leading member of the committees that ran the National Trust for Scotland, the National Galleries of Scotland; chairperson of the National Arts Collection Fund and, for eight years, a distinguished member of the Court of the University of St. Andrews, the Governing Body. She was Vice President of the St. Andrews Robert T. Jones Memorial Trust sending four students each year from St. Andrews to Emory University, while Emory sends four to St. Andrews to keep alive the memory of Bobby Jones—his high ethical standards and his wide academic ability. Sally was on the panel to choose the annual four scholars from St. Andrews.
She died in Scotland on the twenty-first of September and will be buried here in Atlanta after a funeral service at the Cathedral of St. Philip conducted by the Very Rev. Samuel G. Candler on Monday, the eleventh of October at two o'clock in the afternoon.
