She graduated from Grandville High School, and then attended Grand Rapids School of Bible and Music where she met her beloved husband Arnold McVittie. Arnold and Sally were married on Sept. 5, 1958 in Grand Rapids and lived in Deckerville.
Sally was a member of Deckerville Bible Church where she was a youth leader, organist, pianist and choir member for many years. Sally was very gifted in music. She played the piano beautifully and accompanied many youth in Word of Life events, and many vocalists in the church. Sally was fun loving and very energetic. Her hands were never idle.
