Edna (Sally) M. Rawstrom (Morrison) Sally quietly passed away at age 90 years on January 12, 2010 at Millcroft Nursing Center in Newark, DE where she had been a resident for 15 years. Sally was born May 22, 1919 in Rochester, New York to the late William Morrison and Alice Filer Morrison. She was the youngest of three children.

They moved to Newark, DE in 1946 where Harry became the University of Delaware swimming coach for 35 years, and for whom the pool was named in his honor in 1992. Sally and Harry were married for 52 years before his death in 1994. Sally worked as a secretary for many years in the Newark School District, retiring in 1983.
