Sally was born in Elizabethtown, New York, on January 24, 1944, daughter of the late Walter and Helen Barton, also of Elizabethtown.
Sally is predeceased by her brother Donald W Barton.
Sally fought a hard battle with cancer for the past three years. She always made her family feel as though she were invincible. Taking on any treatment or surgery with the utmost positivity and strength. She was a true warrior and will be so greatly missed by all those who loved her.
Sally moved to Maine to start a new life in 1985, and even after facing the adversity that she was now a single mother of five. But like with anything else, she supported her family and dedicated her life to protecting and supporting her family. She also cared for many of her children’s friends as though they were her own. When it came to her children she wore her heart on her sleeve and anyone that knew her, loved her!
Sally leaves behind five children. Three beloved sons, Elton White of Elizabethtown,
New York, Kevin White of Brunswick and Wayne White and his fiancée Misti Cole of Lisbon. Two beloved daughters, Dawn Bisson and her husband Jean-Paul Jr. of Brunswick and Cindy Martin and her fiancé Matthew Elwell of Durham. And one honorary son Lee Weiss of Woolwich.
She is also survived by eleven grandchildren, Joshua Fox and his wife Victoria, Carrie Wallace, Benjamin Coyer, Hunter White, Ashley Martin, Tyler Bulduc, Abbey Martin, Joseph Bisson, Jamie Bisson and Madison Downs.
