Obituary of Sally Read Bacon

Sally Read Bacon Sally was born in Detroit on April 23, 1927, and died in Troy, MI on February 14, 2021. After graduating from Grosse Pointe High School in 1944, Sally earned the degree of Associate in Arts in fashion design from Stephens College in Columbia, MO. Subsequently she attended a wedding where another guest coaxed his extremely shy brother to ask Sally out on a date. This date turned into a courtship and on July 8, 1950, Sally and Alexander John Bacon were wed. The marriage lasted 48 years until Als death in 1998. One of her favorite places was their vacation home in Harbor Springs where she loved sitting on the beach watching the sunset. Sally was active in her church, Kirk in the Hills in Bloomfield Hills, making cancer pads with the Ladies of the Kirk for many years. She was a nurturer, booster, educator, adventurer and artisan. In short, she worked tirelessly to help her children and grandchildren become their best selves. Surviving Sally are son Alexander John Bacon Jr. (Jennifer) of Troy, MI; daughter Pamela Bacon Cabot (Jon) of Sunset, SC and grandsons Alexander John Bacon III, Daniel Bayless Bacon and Stephen Read Uffelman. Because of COVID 19 the memorial service will be planned for a later date. Memorials may be given to the Karmanos Cancer Foundation or Heart to Heart Hospice Foundation.
