Surrounded by her loving family and following a long battle with cancer, Sally Pearl Rosenlof Faux, age 78, passed away peacefully September 29, 2017 returning to her loving Heavenly Father.
Sally was born April 10, 1939 in Mt. Pleasant, Utah, to Harold and Revia Rosenlof. She was the second of five children. She was raised in Mt. Pleasant where she attended North Sanpete High School, class of 1957. While in high school she was a cheerleader her sophomore and junior years. She was the FFA queen in 1956 and the first attendant to Miss Mt. Pleasant in 1957. She met Dan Clair Faux her sophomore year and they were married June 1, 1957, two weeks after her graduation.
Sally and Dan have three children, Steven, Freddi Ann and Julie Ann. Sally was a wonderful mother. She worked for Oscar Meyer for 5 years and then for Safeway for 14 years as a meat wrapper. After she retired from Safeway, she went to work for American Greeting Cards for another 14 years. Sally had many hobbies which included sewing, needle point and refinishing furniture. Sally loved collecting porcelain dolls and making clothes for them.
Sally was a beautiful seamstress and made many clothes for her children, grandchildren and herself including her Junior Prom dress and wedding dress. She enjoyed quilting and making quilts for family members and grandchildren when they were born. She would sew pajamas every year for Christmas for years. Sally was a member of a pinochle club for over 40 years and would get together once a month to play cards. She also enjoyed attending the Red Hat Ladies association and going to senior citizens with her husband for many years. Sally loved to support her grandchildren and attended and watched many events including clogging, baseball games all around the state, and school programs and piano recitals for her great- grandchildren.
Sally was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and enjoyed visiting teaching to many sisters over the years. She was always one that went above and beyond the call to help a sister in need. She enjoyed taking meals to neighbors that were ill or just because she wanted to.
She is survived by her husband, Dan Clair Faux; children: Steven C Faux, Freddi Ann (Mark) Johnson and Julie Ann (Justin) Bliss; 10 grandchildren; 18 great-grandchildren; sisters, Ruth Vance and Dixie Lewis and brother, Roger Rosenlof. Sally is preceded in death by her parents, Harold and Revia Rosenlof; brother, Travis Rosenlof and her in-laws, Ford and Ila Faux.
Her family would like to give a special thank you to the Encompass Hospice Nurses, Nancy Trappnell and Darla Simmons, for all their help and kindness. Thank you to our family members, her sweet cousins, and the wonderful neighbors and friends that helped Sally so much.
