Sally E. - Age 74 - Los Alamos - Milligan

On August 29, 2014 Sally E. Milligan 74, of Los Alamos, was called home to be with the Lord. Sally died peacefully at home surrounded by her family. She was born on October 16, 1939 in Long Beach, CA to Victor P. Waters and Ethel V. Waters. Sally married Donald F. Milligan on November 25, 1959 in San Diego, CA.

Sally was a compassionate woman that believed in taking care of people and especially enjoyed all of the children she had in her life.

She had a contagious smile that always lit up a room and made everyone feel welcome. During her lifetime she always saw the glass as full regardless of the circumstances.

She is survived by her husband, Donald Milligan; children, Michael Milligan, Timothy Milligan, Kelly Milligan, and Christy Zahn; her grandchildren, Collin and Rachel Milligan, Amanda, Dustin, and Katie-Lynn Milligan, James and Shelby Milligan, and Micayla and Hailey Zahn; as well as her sister-in-law, Anna Lee Brizendine and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
