Sara (Sally) Lea Henderson Heskett, age 67, of Manassas, Virginia passed into the care of her Lord, on March 13, 2014, at Prince William Hospital, with her loving husband, William, watching over her.

Sally completed her nursing training at Rumford Hospital in Rumford, Maine in 1965 and began a career in nursing which continued for over 45 years. She ultimately retired from Prince William Hospital in 2004 after 30 years, but continued to work at various nursing homes as well as providing home health care.

Sally was predeceased by her parents and stepfather Louis Woodworth; a brother Thomas; and her beloved mother-in-law, Patricia J. Heskett, who affectionately referred to Sally as her “golden girl”.
