Sally Wilcox O'Day

March 15, 1932 - January 5, 2020

Sally Wilcox O’Day, passed away on January 5th; she lived a full and remarkable life. Sally married the love of her life Arthur O’Day, had 5 daughters and 5 beautiful grand and great-grandchildren. A graduate of Pembroke Women’s College, Sally loved adventure and challenge - she travelled the world, ran the volunteer program at the Folk Art Museum in NYC and loved her time working at Small Joys in Bedford, NY. She was a lifelong golfer, taught by her father, playing with her Women’s Groups in Chappaqua, NY, Scituate, MA, and Jupiter, FL. She was a patron of the arts, lover of animals, and a fundraiser for important causes like Play for Pink. Never meeting a person she didn’t like, she was treasured for her wisdom, wit, equity, inclusiveness and compassion by everyone who knew her whether from professional, social circles or from within her community of Friends of Bill. She was predeceased by husband Art and daughter Gail. She will be missed and is survived by her daughters, Wendy, Linda (Bob), Susan, Brooke; son-in-law, Tom; grandchildren, Matthew and Amanda (Roman); great-granddaughters, Justice and Poppy; two sisters, Gail (Don) and Diane (Tom); and multiple nieces and nephews.
