She was united in marriage to Norman Radermacher on November 15, 1944 at St. Boniface Catholic Church in Melrose. As a young lady, she waitressed and also helped in their grocery store in Sauk Centre. They sold their store and moved to Tracy where they purchased and established a Red Owl store. After ten years they returned to Sauk Centre where she worked in the Sauk Centre Red Owl store.

She was a member of Our Lady of the Angels Catholic Church in Sauk Centre, the Sauk Centre American Legion Auxiliary, and the Senior Citizens. While Norman was still living, they always had a big garden which is why she started helping out at Tutti Fruitti Market Farm. Some of her favorite activities were going dancing to old time music, and fishing, which she did a lot. She loved sewing quilts and enjoyed embroidering. Sally will be missed by her children, grandchildren, and many friends. She was a caring and loving mother and grandmother; we will miss her.
