Her father, Dr. Frederick Olert, was a prominent Presbyterian minister and her mother, Sarah, was a pillar of the church. They were devoted to each other, their family, and their faith. Sally had a happy upbringing along with her four smart and lively siblings.

She was also an administrator at Clark Retirement Community in Grand Rapids, Michigan, a position she held for fifteen years before retiring in 2007 and moving back to Lake Forest, a place where she had close friends and a long history.
