Sallie was born June 15, 1938, in Louisville, Ky., to Hermann Teague and Elizabeth Raney, and moved to Sioux City shortly after birth, where she was a longtime resident. She obtained her G.E.D. and attended some college courses.

In her free time, she loved gardening and writing poetry; but she enjoyed most of all spending time with her family and spending time at Evergreen Terrace, where she found great peace and friendships. Sallie helped start the youth girls softball program in Sioux City, with the help of her five daughters.

Survivors include three sons, Richard, Robin and Russell; five daughters, Dawn, Eve, Honey, Melody and Wendy and their families; as well as several grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents and husband, Richard.
