Sally Augusta Beane Whitt

RALEIGH - Sally passed peacefully into the loving arms of her Savior on Saturday January 4, 2025. She was a beloved mother, sister, friend and most especially, nana. Sally was born on October 31, 1951 in Laurinburg, NC to James and Irene Beane. She moved with her family to Raleigh in 1961. She graduated from Broughton High School and also attended North Carolina State University and Liberty University. Sally had an administrative career for many years, with Carolina Power & Light (now Duke Energy), SAS, and finally the Christian Life Home, where she went on to become the executive director.

Sally was a gifted artist and loved watercolor. Later in life she was blessed to be able to travel to Spain, France, and the NC mountains while studying watercolor there with friends. She loved spending time at the beach and most especially time with her grandchildren.

Sally was a member of Holy Trinity Anglican Church, where she served on the healing prayer ministry along with her late husband, Gerry. They found many close friends there that have become like family.
