"Dick" Andrews in 1958.Sally and Dick moved into their home on Westview Drive in 1964. It was in this home that they raised their 3 children, Karen, Danny and Kathy. Westview Drive was a magical place to raise a family in the 1960's and 1970's and the friendships made among the neighbors were lasting ones. The Westview Drive gang was a second family to Sally, Dick and their children. In 1974, after 16 years away from the field, Sally went back to work at Bethesda Hospital. She worked there until 1994, when she retired after 20 years of service. Nursing was her true calling.

She loved musical theatre, and gave her family a love of music and musicals. She loved Willie Nelson, and in 1998, a long- time dream came true when she finally got to meet him. She loved to travel, and experienced a trip of a lifetime when she traveled to Ireland with her daughter Kathy, to explore her Irish ancestry. She loved her cats, and even had a sweet 16 birthday party for her beloved cat, Penny. Most of all, she loved her family and her family loved her right back. Nothing was more important to her.
