Sally Perry Schell Helmer, as she was rounding the corner to her 87th birthday, passed away on Feb. 2, 2024 at the Tidewell Hospice House in Sarasota, FL. It is with heavy hearts we say goodbye to this wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, aunt and friend, as she brightened all of our lives with her love, generosity, quick wit and ability to “have a good time.” As the mother of 3 boys, she always wanted a daughter, and later in life, found two -- in her dogs Molly and Katie.
