In Loving Memory of Sally Fay Kloster Manson

July 1, 1958 - February 9, 2024

With heavy hearts and cherished memories, we bid farewell to Sally Fay Kloster Manson, a beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother, and friend, who was gently escorted through the pearly gates of heaven at 4:45 PM on February 9, 2024. Sally's journey on earth, graced with love, resilience, and the warmth of her presence, concluded in a serene passage, surrounded by the whispers of love from her daughters, and the silent embrace of her awaiting family in the celestial realm.

Born into the loving arms of Erwin Martin Kloster and Evangeline Booth Bidwell on July 1, 1958, in Willmar, Minnesota, Sally's life was a testament to the strength and grace she inherited from her parents. Her marriage to Clayton Norman Manson on August 25, 1978, blossomed with the birth of their three daughters, Sarah, Crystal, and Melissa, who filled Sally's life with joy, challenges, and the unbreakable bonds of maternal love.

Sally's journey was one of profound connection—to her roots, to her family, and to the enduring love that binds us beyond the veil. Her sisters, Emily and Judy, her late sister, Donna, and her brother, Arnold, who left too soon, were the threads in the fabric of her life, weaving a tapestry of memories that will forever adorn the hearts of those who knew her. Sally's resilience in the face of dementia, her unwavering spirit, and her determination to live on her terms were a source of inspiration to all.

As we reflect on Sally's life, we are reminded of the beauty of her soul, her kindness, and the gentle strength that defined her. Her legacy is not only in the love she gave so freely but also in the courage with which she faced life's challenges. To Sarah, Crystal, Melissa, and all of Sally's grandchildren, know that her love surrounds you now and always. To Emily, Judy, and all who shared in Sally's life, let us find comfort in knowing that Sally is now in a place of perfect peace, reunited with loved ones, free from pain, and watching over us as our guardian angel.

As we say goodbye to Sally, let us hold tight to the memories, the laughter, and the love that she left behind. May we find solace in the thought of her joyful reunion with her parents, Erwin and Evangeline, her siblings, Donna and Arnold, and all the friends and family who have welcomed her into eternal bliss. Sally's journey on earth may have ended, but her spirit, her love, and her legacy will live on in our hearts forever.

In this moment of sorrow, let us also embrace the hope and the light that Sally believed in so deeply—the promise of a place where love never ends, and where we will one day be reunited in joy. Until then, may we honor her memory by living our lives with the same love, strength, and grace that Sally embodied.

Rest in peace, dear Sally. Your journey here is done, but your story lives on within us. You are missed beyond words, but we take comfort in knowing that you have found your peaceful place, surrounded by love eternal.
