After graduating from Elston High School in MIchigan City, Sally worked at WIMS Radio Station. From there she moved to Indianapolis and worked for the CBS affiliate television channel. Following the death of her husband Charles Buttshaw, she left Indiana and lived in Las Vegas, NV where she worked for many years at the Aladdin Casino. It was there that she met her partner Ron Sherman and they moved to Medford, OR. In Medford she worked at Harry & David for many years. They had a wonderful life together, enjoying hobbies and traveling throughout the United States and South America. Sally and Ron moved to Michigan City in 2020 after losing their home to a wildfire in Oregon.
