Sally Cruckshank

Sally Teresa Cruckshank died on March 18, 2025, in Pedee, Oregon at 64 years old.

Born on October 10, 1960, in North Bend, Oregon, Sally was the youngest daughter of Helen E. Cruckshank and Thomas J. Cruckshank. She grew up alongside, and tagging along behind, her sisters, Linda Griffith and Nancy Cruckshank, and numerous cousins from both sides of the family. Sally’s childhood was full of adventures and travel with family and friends, trips to the beach with cousins, and wonderful family celebrations.

Sally’s passion for understanding the human mind led her to pursue higher education at Oregon State University, where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Psychology. Those who knew her remember her as a thoughtful listener, a loyal friend, and a steadfast supporter in times of need. Sally found joy in life’s simple pleasures—whether it was exploring the natural beauty of Oregon, finding new wines and food to enjoy with friends old and new, or learning about the world around her.

Sally is survived by her mother Helen, sisters Linda Griffith and Nancy Cruckshank, as well as an extended family of nieces, nephews, and lifelong friends who will carry forward her memory with love and appreciation.
