Obituary
Age 83, passed away on Sunday, October 25, 2020 after an extended illness. Sally was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan on September 17, 1937, the daughter of Lawrence and Erma (Armour) Burchett. Sally was known for her love of crocheting, embroidery and Big Band music of yesteryear. When asked what people will remember about her, her daughter Sabrina said “she loved to have fun”. Sally was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Gordon Conolly, who passed away earlier this year, and her brothers, Lawrence and Gerald Burchett. She leaves to cherish her memory her children, Sabrina (Paul) Huff of Kalamazoo, Lucinda “Cindy” (James Michael “Mike”) Whippo, of Lawton, Michigan, and Sharvana (Russell) Newhouse, also of Lawton, Michigan, as well as Sally’s sister, Mary Lela Burchett of Haines City, Florida.
To the family of Sally Conolly, I am so sorry for your loss. I am Sally’s cousin on her dad’s side of the family. My dad, Linden D. Burchett is her dad’s brother. We were not real close to my dad’s family but I do remember going to Uncle Lawrence and Aunt Erma’s house on East H Avenue a few times. Sally was 13 years older than me and I believe her two brothers and sister Mary were older too so we didn’t have a lot in common. It would have been nice if we could have kept in touch and gotten to know each others extended families. Once again I want to extend my condolences to Sally’s loved ones. Sincerely, Sheryl Kay Clark
