Sherman- Sally entered into this life on March 5, 1930 in Gunter, Texas to John and Elizabeth (Roeder) Fallon and passed from this life on Tuesday, November 26, 2013 at the age of 83.
Sally was a beloved wife, mother, sister, a farmer and rancher, and a baker of delicious apricot pies. She was a grandmother and a great-nan, many times over. She loved God, her family, church, mowing her yard, and a good clearance sale. She loved babies, especially her own. She hated injustice, mice, and cats - unless they were catching mice. She was extraordinary in all the ways that matter. Her name was Sally McCullough and she was our mother.
Sally was preceded in death by her parents, husband James (Bud) McCullough, daughter Barbara Eileen, sisters Mary Horak, Florence Day and "Net" Jeanette Henderson, brothers Charles Fallon, Bill Fallon, and Eddy (Bub) Fallon.
She is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Pat and Terri McCullough; daughters and sons-in-law, Libby and Randy Griffin, Teresa and Jim Colvin, Mary and Keith Utley, and Margaret Stegal; 12 grandchildren Tiffany Griffin, Jennie and Jeremy Bullard, Laura and Jose Zagala, Amy and Justin Lewis, Ann Marie and James Rutledge, Kim McCullough, Emily McCullough, Brian Utley, Katie and Lance High, Erin and Chase Condor, Charlie Stegal, Eric and Libbie Stegal; 19 great grandchildren Jonathon, Megan, Nick and Luke Bullard; Marc, Molly, and Brian Zagala; Jacob, Katelynn and Avery Lewis; Olivia, William, and Samuel Rutledge; Selah, Alycia, Lydia, Malachi and Elijah High, and McKenzie Condor; 3 expecting great grandchildren Kinsey Stegal and Benjamin Lewis (in Jan.), and baby girl Utley (in April). Sally is also survived by sisters Etta Klumpyan and Delia Fallon, brother-in-law Jim Henderson, sisters-in-law Connie Fallon and Lillian Fallon; and many nieces, nephews, extended family, and two dear caregivers Peggy Broach and Sue Simms.
