Sally Irene Saling King was born in Oakley, Idaho, on August 17, 1936. She was the second of three children, with brothers, Wally and Larry. Her father, Wallace Saling, was a Forest Ranger and they would spend summers on Soldier Creek in the mountains while living in Hailey, Idaho. Sally’s mom, Verland, raised a large garden and had fruit trees.
Bud and Sally moved several times in Utah and Idaho while Sally had their children and worked as a nurse. When they moved the second time to Teton Valley, Idaho, she became an Idaho Public Health Nurse, with her office in Driggs, Idaho. They built a home outside of Victor, Idaho, where their five children, Elizabeth, Karen, Karl, Mary, and Jacque, finished growing up.
When mom retired after 27 years, and dad retired as a postman, they moved to Ammon, Idaho.
She is dearly loved by her family and friends. We will all miss her nurturing and compassion. She passed peacefully on April 29, 2022, at the home of her daughter in Nampa, Idaho.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Buddy Jack King; her parents, Wallace and Verland Saling; her brother, Wally Saling; and a grandson, Jeffery Jack Gould.
Sally is survived by her children, Elizabeth (James) Gould, Karen (Clif) Strang, Karl (Deborah) King, Mary (Steve) Emerson, Jacque (Tony) King; 20 grandchildren and 23 great grandchildren.
