In Loving Memory of Sally Cartwright

Sally Kay Cartwright, beloved resident of Tiptonville, Tennessee, passed away peacefully on Thursday, April 11 at the age of 98.

Born on February 28, 1926, Sally was a cherished daughter of Tom and Lena McDonald. She grew up in Hardin County alongside her 4 siblings, Aubrey McDonald, Marie Shaw, Alberta Tuck, and Mable Smith.

On July 25th, 1942, Sally married Johnny Clayton (JC) Cartwright in Blytheville, Arkansas, with whom she shared 60 beautiful years of marriage until his death in 2002. Together, they raised a loving family and built a lifetime of cherished memories.

Her family was the center of her world, and she took great joy in spending time with them, whether it was playing school, piano or sharing stories. In addition to her immediate family, Sally is survived by a large extended family and countless friends who will miss her dearly. She is preceded in death by her parents, siblings, husband, son (Johnny Brent Cartwright) and grandson (John Erin Williams).
