Sally Mary Finney (King), a long-time resident of Oakville, passed away peacefully and with dignity at the age of 83 on Monday November 3, 2014 with her beloved husband Jim and close family by her side at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital. Born October 6, 1931 in Glasgow, Scotland, daughter of Mary and Frank King, she enjoyed a vibrant life with loving family and friends. A strong and courageous lady, Sally will be deeply missed by her devoted husband Jim and loving children Alison Knight and Graham Finney, son-in-law Drew, daughter- in-law Laura, grand-children Alison, Cody, Andrea, Dana, Jesse, Danny and Aynsley; and great-grandchildren Brayden and Ava. Her cherished siblings Joyce McAlpine, Frank (Edeltraud) and John (Sheena) King are deeply saddened at the loss of their dearly loved sister. Loved and missed by many nieces and nephews. She will be remembered for her beautiful smile, quick wit and dry humour. She enjoyed knitting, reading, crosswords, bowling, curling and all kind of dancing (ballroom, Scottish Country, clogging and belly dancing). Her lifelong passion was time with family to share her love and devotion. She gave to her family and expected nothing in return, leaving behind a rich legacy of love. Sally was a Proofreader since arriving in Canada in 1964, retiring in 1990 from The Hamilton Spectator. A celebration of her life will be held for family and friends at Paletta Mansion, 4280 Lakeshore Rd, Burlington on Sunday November 23 at 1 pm.
