Sally Brooks, 83, of Seymour passed away at the Schneck Medical Center in Seymour on Saturday, March 22, 2025, with her family by her side.

Sally was born on July 11, 1941, in North Vernon, IN, the daughter of Norman Albert "Pip" and Katherine Elizabeth (Padgett) Miller. She was a 1959 graduate of North Vernon High School in North Vernon, IN. She married John J. Brooks on May 1, 1965, at St. Mary's Catholic Church. They were happily married for 47 years.

Sally was a homemaker and an amazing wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. Family was everything to her. She enjoyed cooking, playing in multiple bridge groups, bowling in a Tuesday morning league, and watching sports - especially the Chicago Cubs. She was a member of St. Mary's Catholic Church in North Vernon where she grew up, and later, at St. Ambrose Catholic Church in Seymour. She also enjoyed volunteering with The Daughter of Isabelle. She will be greatly missed by all who loved and knew her.
