Sarah ‘Sally’ Sturges

Sioux City

Sarah Ruth “Sally” Sturges, 83, of Sioux City, passed away Monday, Aug. 10, 2020.

Due to COVID-19, no services are being planned. Burial of cremains will be at a later date. Arrangements are under the direction of Meyer Brothers Colonial Chapel.

Sally was born on Aug. 10, 1937, in Slayton, Minn., to Harrison and Laura (Hollmer) Sturges.

Sally joined a convent shortly after high school before realizing her dream of being counselor/educator. After receiving her degree from SDSU, Sally worked as a counselor for St. Luke’s. Sally then went on to open her own
recovery/counseling center in Sioux City. After retiring, Sally decided she loved and missed visiting with people, so she took on a part-time job at Walmart. Sally worked at Walmart from June 2010 to August 2018.

Sally is survived by one sister, Virginia Asbury of Wichita Falls, Texas; as well as many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by three sisters, Mildred Pistulka, Suzie Sturges, and Mary Hackert; and two brothers, Thomas Sturges and William “Bill” Sturges.
