Our dear friend and club member, Sallie Kratz passed away on June 9, 2024.  Sallie joined St. Louis Rotary Club on February 19, 2004. She was a member for 20 years.

Sallie was a talented watercolor artist, and she joyfully used her talent to assist organizations including St. Louis Rotary Club. Her paintings graced Christmas cards for organizations across St. Louis. And her beautiful watercolor paintings hang on our walls. They were painted and donated to organizations to help raise funds for others. Sallie was also a generous civic philanthropist. 

Sallie had a great sense of humor.  We will remember that as well as her smile, her chuckle, that twinkle in her eyes and her kindness and generosity to others.  

A Private service was held on June 15, 2024 at Bopp Chapel in Kirkwood, with Burial at Oak Hill Cemetery, Kirkwood, Missouri.
