I am so sorry to hear about Sallie’s passing, she was one of the first people I met when I started at the Network and she was such a delight–smart, friendly, nice, and full of personality. I lost my spouse to cancer so know how hard it is, may you find comfort in the fact that Sallie’s pain is now gone. Holding your family close in my thoughts and prayers as you start the long process of healing. Carrie McLachlan

Sallie was a beacon of knowledge, support, and kindness in our professional sphere. I will always be grateful for her mentorship, positivity, and just ‘niceness’ in every interaction I had with her over the years. I am going to miss having Sallie to consult and talk with. Peace to her loved ones and her close colleagues.

Dear David,
I am so very sorry to hear of Sallie’s passing. She will be remembered fondly by all who worked with her, and she leaves a lasting legacy of privacy work for communities across the country. In recent days, I’ve thought about the many bridges that she built across organizations as she was so skilled at bringing people together. Sallie was a thoughtful and hard working member of the National Committee on Vital and Health Statistics, and those who know her will always remember her warmth, smile, and effervescence. She was a delight to be around, and is greatly missed. May her memory be a blessing.
Sincerely,
Rachel Seeger
