Gordon Bickel and wife Judith of Langley, WA, Cousin Marcia Coleman, Nephew Charles Walker Bickel, Niece Alison MacGregor, and five grandchildren, Sean Trueman Wickers, Kyle Buchanan Wickers, Mark Richard Williamson, Jennifer Martha Williamson, and Thomas Roger Williamson.   Sally spent her younger years in in Westfield NJ until moving to Bernardsville NJ when she was 13.  After graduating from Bernardsville High School, Sally attended Colby Sawyer College (NH) and University of Miami (FL). After graduation, Sally spent some time in San Diego, CA before relocating to Boston, MA where she worked for 20 years at Fidelity Investments.   Sally had fond memories of growing up with her family spending summers on Great East Lake in Wakefield, NH. Later, she reconnected to the area as she and Roger spent many years enjoying their lakefront home on neighboring Horn Pond in Wakefield, NH. Sally was an avid water skier and loved teaching her family and friends.   Upon retirement, Sally and Roger settled in Wolfeboro, NH. They spent many wonderful years there.  Sally loved playing golf, particularly enjoying the noon rounds at Kingswood Golf Course. She enjoyed her quiet time at home, completing her New York Times Crossword Puzzle every morning, watching Golf Tournaments, cheering on the Patriots, and reading Mystery Novels, but always looked forward to gathering with her Wolfeboro friends in town.   Her family plans to have a celebration of her life at a later date.  Donations can be made to one of the following places:   Colby-Sawyer College Colby-Sawyer CollegeOffice of Advancement541 Main StreetNew London, NH 03257                 Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center                     Payable to: “Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health”  Memo: “NCCC”  D-H/Geisel Office of DevelopmentAttn: Gift RecordingOne Medical Center Drive, HB 7070Lebanon, NH 03756-0001   Lakes Region Humane Society Payable to: LRHS.
