Sally Jo Scott

Sally Jo Scott, a beacon of kindness and generosity, passed away peacefully on November 29, 2024, in Greendale, Wisconsin at the age of 79. Born on December 13, 1944, in Waukegan, Illinois to Norma (Nee Paddock) Scott and Wilson Scott, Sally's life was a testament to her unwavering faith and her capacity for love, which touched the lives of all who knew her. 

Sally's early years were spent in the warm embrace of her hometown, where she graduated from Greenfield High School in 1963. Sally had a career in the medical field. She worked as an EEG technician, a medical assistant in Franklin, and was an oncology assistant at Froedtert, roles in which she demonstrated her innate ability to care for others with precision and empathy. Throughout her career, she not only contributed to the well-being of countless patients but also formed lasting friendships and connections within her professional community.

Family was the cornerstone of Sally's world. She is survived by her loving children, Laura (Frank) Villarreal and Shawn (Kristine) Hannon. Sally was a cherished grandmother to Jesse (Mari) Villarreal, Alexandra (Andy) Novak, Vanessa Villarreal, Lijah (Joe) Hannon, and Samuel Hannon, and a proud great-grandmother to Liam, Riley, and Grayson. She will be fondly remembered by her sister, Judith (the late John) Pachi, and her adored nephew and niece, Scott Pachi and Beth Kovar. Sally's family was her pride and joy, and the legacy of her spirit, zest for life, and love will live on through them.  Sally was preceded in death by her Granddaughter Adriana Hannon. 

An ardent lover of horses, Sally's passion for these majestic creatures was evident to all who knew her. Her love for music could be seen in the way her eyes lit up at the first note of a favorite song. Sally's enthusiasm for life was infectious, and she found great joy in boating and creating unforgettable memories on vacations with her family. These moments, now cherished memories, are a testament to her belief in the importance of family and the simple pleasures of life. 

Known for her faith-filled heart, Sally was a pillar in her community, exemplifying what it means to live a life of service and kindness. She navigated life's challenges with grace and always had a generous spirit, ready to lend a helping hand or a listening ear to anyone in need. Her presence was a source of comfort and strength to her family and friends, a role she embraced wholeheartedly. 

Sally's life was one of purpose and joy. Her unwavering faith guided her through each chapter of her journey, and her kind and generous nature was a constant source of light for those around her. She leaves behind a legacy of love and service that will continue to inspire and influence generations to come. 

As we bid farewell to Sally Jo Scott, we celebrate a life beautifully lived and a soul that will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of those she loved. Her spirit, characterized by compassion and a deep-seated joy for life, will forever be remembered and cherished. Sally's journey on earth may have come to a close, but the echoes of her laughter and the warmth of her love will remain with us always.
