Sally Felan

Sally Felan, a woman of unwavering spirit and boundless love, was born on October 16, 1964, in Clifton, Texas. She departed this world on December 29, 2025, in Dallas, Texas, after a courageous battle with cancer, surrounded by the warm embrace of her family.

In life, Sally was a relentless force, always busy, always moving, and always deeply involved in the community that she cherished. With her ever-listening police scanner, she was not just a neighbor but the unofficial watchful guardian of her surroundings, ever ready to lend help and ensure the safety of those around her. Her uniquely balanced approach combined seriousness with a delightful sense of humor, making her both a trusted pillar and a ray of sunshine in the lives of many.

Sally's home was a refuge overflowing with laughter and warmth, rich with the scents of her kitchen where the true magic of her heart unveiled itself. Her love was most beautifully expressed through her culinary creations, especially her iconic tortillas, which weren’t merely food but offered comfort, tradition, and warmth served with generous helpings of love. Meals shared among family were the cornerstone of her universe, underscoring her belief that togetherness was the heart of life.

An enthusiastic follower of wrestling, Sally treated match nights as sacred events, her loud cheers and passionate debates creating an atmosphere that transformed simple viewing into unforgettable gatherings. To meet her was to know a friend; by some divine gift, she knew how to make every individual feel welcome, valued, and remembered. If you encountered Sally once, you could be assured she would greet you like family on your next visit, with her remarkable ability to connect blooming into lasting relationships.

Survived by her cherished children, Marcella Davidson, Felicia Scruggs and her husband, Jason, and Veronica Davidson and her husband, Aubrey Wood, Sally's legacy continues through their love. Her grandchildren, Jason Wood, Olivia Wood, Dominic Vasquez, Dejah Vasquez, Demitris Vasquez, Dante Vasquez, Jason Scruggs Jr., Ryan Scruggs, Brylei Scruggs, Dylan Scruggs, as well as her great-grandchild, Kai Vasquez, and countless nieces and nephews, are all living testaments to the love she poured into her life.

Sally is also remembered lovingly by her siblings, Mandy Whitmer and her husband, Corbin; Jack Felan and his wife, Frances Felan; Christina Martinez and her husband, Eligio Ramirez; and Julie Gonzalez, her bonds with whom were as vibrant as her spirit.

She joins her beloved parents, Benny Felan and Sarah Felan, and her cherished brother, Jimmie Felan, in eternal peace.

Her vibrant life touched countless hearts; the kindness, laughter, and the generous spirit of Sally Felan adorned the lives of all who had the fortune of knowing her. Her memory shall forever resonate in the stories shared and the meals enjoyed, as those she embraced carry forward her enduring legacy of love.
