Sally Hanley Jenkins passed away peacefully on Monday April 21, 2014. Born April 9, 1918 in Fountain, MN, to Frederick and Louise (Erdmann) Garves, she moved to Montana in 1945 and married Richard “Dick” Hanley on September 30, 1947 in Helena, MT. They raised three daughters, Mary Lou, Nancy Kathryn and Peggy Ann while operating a successful business, “Hanley Glass & Paint.” Sally was active with raising her family and managing the family business, yet always made time to volunteer at the school and numerous civic events.
After Dick Hanley passed in 1970, Sally continued with her “Sal’s Handicrafts,” business which she ran for 17 years. On May 22, 1987 she married Don Jenkins and they enjoyed a busy life of travel, family activities and each other’s company. Following Don’s death in 1999 Sally continued to stay active with family, Bridge, Red Hats, AARP and the Helena Cathedral Parish.
Sally left three daughters to celebrate her life — Mary Lou Ender and husband Rick of Scottsdale, Az., Peggy Hanley, Katie Meyer and husband Keith all of Helena. Jeff Dorrington, favorite nephew and wife, Phyllis of Helena. Seven grandchildren; Molly Meyer and Marcus Meyer of Helena, Kurt Racicot (Nicole) of Bozeman, Katie Racicot of Missoula, Angela (Shawn) Racicot-Stennerson of Dillon, Beth McDonnel (Dan) of Chester Springs, PA, and Matthew Ender (Jennifer) of Newton, MA. The joy of her life in recent years has been her ten great grandchildren; Marley, Leila, Drew, Kate, Skyler, Aidan, Nolan, Cynthia, Nathanial and Valerie. Sally is survived by her sister-in-law Peggy Galen of Sun City, Az and several nieces and nephews.
As Sally aged she rarely slowed down and hated to miss a good time. Her greatest wish was to leave this world on her own terms and not linger and her wish was granted. She will be greatly missed but we also have wonderful memories of this bright light she brought into our lives which made us better people.
A vigil will be held at Anderson Stevenson Wilke Funeral Home on Tuesday, April 29 at 6:00 p.m. A celebration Mass at the Helena Cathedral will be on Wednesday April 30, at noon with a reception at the Montana Club to follow.
A private family burial will take place at Fort Harrison Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to God’s Love in Helena and the Helena Cathedral.
