October 12, 2017 with her husband and family by her
side. Sally was born in Terrell, Texas to her parents
Minnie Miller & KL Breeden Sr. on January 22, 1934.
Sally found a friend in everyone and everyone found a
friend in her.
She was Terrell Tigers' head majorette and top tennis
player. Sally embraced the true meaning of spirit
inspiring everyone she coached. She graduated from
North Texas State University as a physical education
teacher. Sally instilled in her students a desire to
succeed and never give up.
Halloween was one of her favorite holidays. She dressed
up as the "wicked witch" and delighted children from
California to Terrell, Texas, and all knew her as the
popcorn ball lady... the house not to miss!
She met her sweet Johnny, and they were married 38
years. She is survived by John Thomas, her children
Bruce Hershey and wife Connie, Ginny Hershey-
Lambert and husband Patrice, stepchildren Leigh,
Shellie & Tommy LaRoe, her brother KL Breeden JR
