Sally passed away peacefully on October 14, 2021. She was born on November 11, 1927, in Chicago, Illinois, to Fred and Harriet Jackson. When Sally was five years old, she moved with her family to Tesuque, NM. She grew up on Rancho del Monte, a vacation ranch, where she led trail rides and assisted guests. She was as at home on a horse as most kids are on a bicycle.
While at UNM, Sally married Robert (Bob) A. Evans. They were married 62 years and together raised four children.
Graduating from UNM with a degree in elementary education, Sally taught third and fourth grades for many years at Bellehaven and Barcelona Elementary Schools. She was a much beloved teacher.
Sally was an outstanding cook and spent countless hours in her kitchen. She loved snow skiing and skied well into her 70s. She enjoyed traveling to Europe, Mexico and Canada.
Sally is survived by her children: Pam Croné (David), Peggy Moore (Ray), and Peter Evans. She is also survived by one grandchild, Kelly Headd (Brian), and one great grandchild, Gus.
Sally was preceded in death by her husband, Bob, and her daughter Patty Gardner Evans.
Her children would like to thank caregivers Anna, Marietta, Edna, Linda, Yssa, Nicole and Charline for their loving care of Sally. Gratitude is also given to Tara and Roadrunner Hospice for keeping Sally safe and comfortable.
While we will miss her daily physical presence in our lives, we are forever grateful for a lifetime of love, laughter, wisdom and memories. God bless you, Mom. We love you.
