In addition to her beloved husband, Sally’s lifelong loves were music and singing. She took voice and piano lessons as a child and continued her singing career in the Mount Holyoke Glee Club. After Sally married, she sang in church and community choirs at a number of Air Force bases, in St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Alexandria, VA for over 30 years, and in the National Cathedral Choir, Alexandria Choral Society and Bolling Air Force Base Skylarks. In 1994 Sally joined the Vienna-Falls Chapter of Sweet Adelines International which became the center of her musical life, having earned several Regional and International awards. In 2018 Sally retired from Vienna-Falls, receiving Emeritus membership in Sweet Adelines International.
Sally is survived by her four children, Jennifer Newman of Ames, Iowa, John Davidson of Franklin, Tennessee, Bruce Davidson of Vancouver, Canada, and Julia Hood of Port Orange, Florida. She is also survived by 11 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren and a host of relatives and friends.
In honor of Sara’s life, a virtual Memorial Service will be held in June, 2020. She will, in time, join her husband, John, at Arlington National Cemetery.
