May 12, 1946 - July 6, 2025
Mom was born on May 12, 1946, in Vulcan, Alberta, and grew up in Bow Island and Grassy Lake. After high school, she completed a Nursing Aide course and found her calling in caring for others. Her warmth and compassion made her a natural in the profession.
While training, she met Dennis Walker through his cousin Betty, who happened to be a fellow nursing student and friend of Sally’s. They married on August 6, 1966, in Hanna, Alberta and settled in Rumsey, Alberta, where they raised three children: Kendra, Curt, and Angie. Mom chose to focus on family, always putting others first. She was our quiet strength—supportive, loving, and endlessly kind.
She was predeceased by her parents, Tom and Anne Seredynski, and her sister, Mary Glufke.
She leaves behind Dennis, her husband of 58 years; her children Kendra (Lance) Kiemele, Curt (Sharon) Walker, and Angie Van Straten; her grandchildren Matthew Kiemele (Shelby Winther), Jonathan Kiemele (Amy), Noel Kiemele (Hanna Jaeger-Hobson), Mackenna Walker, Seth Walker, and Dextin Van Straten; and great-grandchildren Harper and Cassidy. She was joyfully awaiting the arrival of Jon and Amy’s baby in October.
She will be deeply missed by her family, extended relatives, and all who knew her.
The Celebration of Life Service will be held at the Rumsey Community Hall on Tuesday, July 15th at 1:00 pm.
