SARAH (SALLY) SEELBACH NARRIGAN August 16,1922-November 12, 2015 Sally Narrigan (nee Sarah Louise Seelbach) formerly of Wynnewood, PA, died peacefully at age 93 on November 12, 2015 with her children at her bedside. She is preceded in death by her loving husband Richard, and her sister Judith Seelbach Franz Dolozal. She is survived by her four children: Deborah Narrigan of Nashville TN; Thomas and wife Beverly Bloomberg of Longmeadow MA; William and wife Kathleen of Bryn Mawr PA; and James and wife Kathleen of Collegeville PA; and her grandchildren Timothy, Elizabeth, Paul, Eloise, Andra, Michael, Cameron, Sean, Laura and Jonathan. Sally grew up in Cleveland Ohio, where her family was a part of a strong German community. At the age of 15, she and her sister were members of a student exchange program that took her to Germany for six weeks. This was the beginning of her traveling, a pleasure she enjoyed her entire life. Sally graduated from Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York, in 1944, where she majored in English and German, played on several sports teams, and held the office of president of the student Athletic Association. Richard and Sally were married in 1944, resided for several years in Cleveland, and then moved first to Narberth and and later to Wynnewood PA, where they lived until moving to the Beaumont Retirement Community in Bryn Mawr in 2004. She loved music, from classical to big band and broadway songs. During her years as loving wife and mother she participated in many community organizations. She served as Girl Scout and Cub Scout troop leader; was active in the PTA of Narberth Public School; and was an active member of the Narberth Presbyterian Church serving as deacon and elder. She was very generous, sponsoring several children funded by a Christian organization. She also held a part-time position as travel agent for several years in the Raymond and Whitcomb agency. Sally had a passion for traveling. She visited Europe, the British Isles, the Middle East, Caribbean, and North America, making several transcontinental trips with her family. She was very fond of the sea and enjoyed cruises and Atlantic crossings including a trip on the Queen Elizabeth II. The family would like to thank the entire staff of Beaumont Retirement Community for their excellent, compassionate care during Sally’s final years, and the staff of Heartland Hospice for her end of life care. A memorial service to celebrate her life will be held Saturday, December 19, 2015, at 10:30 am at the Narberth Presbyterian Church, 205 Grayling Avenue 19072.
