The services will be rescheduled for a time later in September 2020. McHenry Funeral Home is handling arrangements. www.mchenryfuneralhome.com Sara “Sally” J. Irvin Lovelady, after suffering complication with diabetes, passed away February 20, 2020 at the age of 90. Sally was born January 19, 1930 in Woodland, Washington to Jack (John) and Dorothy (Seymour) Irvin. In 1941, Sally’s parents moved the family to Corvallis, where she later attended Corvallis High School. In October 1950, she married Carl A. Lovelady. They made their home south of Corvallis farming up to 2600 acres at one time and were married for 65 years. They had two sons, Robert and James Lovelady, whom they raised on the farm. Sally enjoyed sewing and mending for her family. In the later years Sally would be seen making Raggedy Ann and Andy Dolls as gifts, as well as making stuffed Santa dolls for church, doing crafts and playing games. She also enjoyed canning and cooking for her family, of which she was always requested to bring her homemade dinner rolls for family get-togethers, a request that always made her feel gifted. She had a green thumb for working with her flowers in the yard and in the house. Sally enjoyed doing day trips with Carl and watching him and their boy’s farm. She is survived by her two sons, Robert of Corvallis and James (Eileen) of Visalia, California; grandsons Jay and Carter (Jarie) Lovelady; brother John (Judy) Irvin of Salem; sister Victoria Lam of Honolulu, Hawaii; sister-in-law Betty Robidart of Corvallis; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband Carl; brother Stan Irvin; and granddaughter Molly Lovelady. Services have been canceled for Saturday, March 21st. Services will be rescheduled for later in September 2020. McHenry Funeral Home is handling arrangements. (www.mchenryfuneralhome.com)
