This document provides biographical information about Sally Lefler, a resident at Friendship Village retirement home. It summarizes that Sally has lived in Ohio most of her life, met her husband while they were students in Kentucky, had four children and is very proud of her large family. It also mentions some of Sally's hobbies like handcrafts, reading, birding and volunteering with metro parks. Sally enjoys traveling and has visited many places around the world but would still like to visit Victoria Falls.

1. Favorite childhood
memories were of
going to the country
club where she could
swim, ride her bike,
and swing on the big
swing. She was not a
fan, however, of ice
skating. She claimed
her ankles were too
weak and it was far too
cold.
When asked what
she liked best about
being retired, Sally
quickly informed us
that retirement
definitely doesn’t give
you more time. But it
does allow you more
choice of what to do
with the time you have.
It sounds like Sally
keeps very busy and
will continue to do so in
the future!
If you would like us
to get to know you
better, we would love
to come and interview
you. Please give us a
call at 614-259-5034.
Sally Lefler has been a
resident of Friendship
Village for about a year,
but she has lived in Ohio
most of her life. She and
her husband met while
they were both students
at Asbury College (now a
university) in Kentucky.
He has since passed but
they had 56 years
together. They raised four
children, two boys and
two girls. Both girls were
adopted. She is also a
grandmother 14 times
over and has 5 great
grandchildren. The thing
she is most proud of in
her life is her family.
“How blessed I have
been,” she stated.
Some of Sally’s favorite
past times are evident in
her apartment. She
enjoys handcrafts,
reading and birding. She
likes being out in nature
and has volunteered for
the Metro Park system for
many years, specifically
at Blendon Woods and
Sharon Woods.
Quite the world traveler,
the only places Sally has
not been are the
Antarctica and Africa. We
wish we could have stayed
there all afternoon and
listened to the tales of her
travels. She has visited
China, Israel, Brazil and all
over Europe. Her favorite
destinations were
Scandinavia and Alaska.
While in Brazil, she visited
a former exchange student
and attended his wedding!
When asked if she could
visit anywhere else in the
world, where would that
be, Sally replied, “Victoria
Falls.”
