Sally was born on July 4, 1958, in Seattle. She was in foster care until the age of 6, when she eagerly entered the hearts and home of her loving adoptive parents, Don and Norma Butler. Sally grew up in Richland and graduated from Columbia High School in 1976. She proceeded to further her education at Western Washington University, earning her Bachelor's Degree in Theatre Arts.
Sally worked at CBC for seven years, helping students achieve their goals and dreams through the Work First/Worker Retraining program. Sally's foundation in Christ was an inspiration to everyone around her. She loved Church and was a devoted member of Calvary Chapel. Sally's love for her family will be imprinted in our hearts forever.
Her hobbies included singing, playing guitar, writing, cooking and spending time with her 12 grandchildren. Sally will always be remembered for her enlightening soul and overflowing love for others. She always put everyone else's needs before her own and always believed each person had the potential to be successful in life and encouraged everyone to live and follow their dreams. Family and God were the main focus of her life, and her devotion to both never wavered.
A celebration of her life was held at Calvary Chapel in Kennewick. A Memorial Donation account has been setup at HAPO Community Credit Union under Sally Meador.
