Sally was born on May 20, 1959, in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, to the late Clay and Marianne Birkhead. Following obtaining her bachelor’s degree in 1981, Sally dedicated her life and career to educating and loving young minds. Numerous students were touched by her ability to teach not only in the classroom but outside of the classroom as well, her kindness, generosity and full personality will surely be missed. She retired after more than 27 years of dedication to teaching and touching young minds in 2008 from the Carteret County School Systems. Where she became a full-time mother, and eventually proud grandmother.

Sally was diagnosed with stomach cancer in 2012, she kept a positive attitude and fought hard up until her last days with us.

She was a proud loving mother to her children who she is survived by, daughter, Alicia Anne Whitchurch, and son, Robert Charles Whitchurch. Also, a proud and loving grandmother to her grandchildren, Abbrielle Faith Wilson, Jaxon Dean Whitchurch, Daeton Kelly Whitchurch and Emmberly Anne Whitchurch.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Kelly Whitchurch; her parents, Clay and Marianne Birkhead; and her loving sister, Jill E. Schieble.
