Sarah E. Waller - Obituary

arah Ellen Wilson Waller Died peacefully at the Ginger Cove retirement community in Annapolis on Saturday September 25. Born in Drexel Hill Pennsylvania, she grew up in the then-new Washington suburb of University Park Maryland. She was predeceased by her husband of 62 years, Wilmer, in 2009 and her sister Pauline Wilson Machen. She is survived by son Wilmer Waller, 3rd (Michael), and daughter Ellen Wallis (John), grandchildren Towne Burd (Andy), Page Litfin (Garrett), Dexter Wallis, Dan Wallis, and great grandchildren Alice, Violet, Harper, and Griffith. For decades, Sarah was devoted to and thankful for her small, locally-based, and close-knit family. Her life as a homemaker was preceded by work she enjoyed at the Pentagon during World War II processing airline reservations for members of the armed services. During her long life, in addition to time with her family she enjoyed music, traveling, entertaining, and interior design…all carried out with her hallmark sense of good humor and memorable laugh.
