Sally Tawse, 72, died Sept. 29, 2009, in Pueblo, Colo., after two
years of failing health. She was surrounded by her family who loved
her absolutely. A mother, wife, friend, grandmother, sister, aunt,
nurse, artist and rebel spirit, she will be missed by many. She was
born to Richard L. Hane, M.D., and Ruth H. Hane on Nov. 6, 1936 in
Fort Wayne, Ind.; subsequently she lived in Astoria, Ore., Pacific
Grove, Santa Barbara, Newport Beach, Oakhurst, Fresno and Tuolumne,
Calif., prior to moving with her husband to Pueblo in 1983. She found
much joy in the family's simple cabin in Beulah. No matter where she
lived, Sally remained connected to the Pacific Ocean. Its natural
beauty was a lifelong source of joy. A registered nurse who never
chose an "easy assignment," Sally graduated from the Knapp School of
Nursing in Santa Barbara in 1958. She loved caring for her patients,
whether in the intensive care unit or the teen ward, and she was a
lifelong advocate for respecting the sick. She pulled no punches as a
nurse, even later in her career when she an RN on one of tougher wards
at the Colorado State Hospital. Married to her Pacific Grove H.S.
sweetheart, Clinton "Rusty" Tawse, in 1957 in the Church of the
Wayfarer, Carmel, Calif., Sally set and pulled up roots with her
family many times. While the geography changed, her children were her
compass for life. She is survived by her husband of 52 years, Clinton
Hughes Tawse; her sister, Nancy Spiekerman of Stockton, Calif.; her
children, Sylvia Ruth Tawse of Longmont, Richard Clinton Tawse of
Pueblo, Jennifer Ann Tawse of Boulder and Bonnie Jean Tawse of
Chicago; and her grandchildren, Cassidy Ann Tawse-Garcia, Emily Stromm
Davis, Madeline Artemis Davis, Clinton Hart Davis, Claire Pema
Stalhuth, Samuel Hughes Grossman and Benjamin Isaac Grossman; and by
her nephews, Scott Pilchard and Chuck Spiekerman; and nieces, Susie
Todd, Suzanne Pech and her namesake, Sally Hutley. Sally was an
amateur artist with special talent in watercolor and, later in life,
sticker art - especially loved by her grandchildren as well as the
local post office employees. She had a gifted eye for art, collecting
those works she simply loved: Kloss, Helgoe, Radeaux, Solano, among
others. Her life was surrounded by folk, fine and grandchildrens' art
as if every wall or cranny was an opportunity to appreciate visual
beauty and sharp wit, both of which she also possessed. Never one to
spend unwisely, Sally knew how to make a family feast from little and
clever gifts from garage sale-discovered treasures. She was her own
clever mixture of sass and warmth, serious and fun, spirit and earth.
She was always and will forever be . . . creatively resilient. A
celebration of Life Reception, will be held in Sally Tawse's honor, 2
p.m. Sunday, Oct. 25, 2009, Pastures of Plenty Farm, Longmont, CO,
80503. The Tawse family suggests memorial contributions may be made to
