A remarkable life ended in Edinburgh on Thursday, after more than 90 years. Sally was born in the Middle East, and married a Scottish soldier during WWII. She and her first-born survived the sinking of the Laconia, and she went on to have three more children. Life wasn’t always kind to her, but she bore the bad as she enjoyed the good, and her courage shone throughout. Sleep well.
