Sally A. Gorski, 68, Wausau, passed away peacefully in her home while surrounded by family on Thursday, November 21, 2019, under the care of Ascension at Home Hospice.

She also spent countless hours road tripping to quilt shops with her late best friend Faye.

Sally was a very loving, giving and charitable person, always willing to help someone in need.  She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
