IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Sally Jean
(Aument) Erisman
December 30, 1933 – January 20, 2022
Sally Jean (Aument) Erisman was born December 30, 1933, in Lancaster, PA, the second of four daughters of John R. and Esther E. (Hoover) Aument. She was the loving wife of Rev. Dr. A. Richard "Dick" Erisman since November of 1955. She passed into eternal rest on January 20, 2022, at Willow Valley Retirement Community, where she and Dick have lived since 2017.
Sally grew up in Lancaster Township on South West End Avenue, and after nine years of school there chose to go to Manor–Millersville Senior High School in Millersville, where she played field hockey and participated in cheerleading and numerous music groups. She graduated from Manor–Millersville in 1951, majoring in Business. Sally spent much of her career in banking, working at various affiliates of the original Hamilton Bank, now Wells Fargo, and also served as secretary of Stewartstown United Methodist Church from 1971 to 1977.
Sally enjoyed crafts, gardening, knitting, reading and time with her family. After retiring to Lititz in 1992, she was an active member of Hope United Methodist Church in Ephrata for 25 years, where she sang in the choir, as she did in each community throughout her life.
In addition to her husband Dick, Sally is survived by her son Thomas Erisman, husband of Jane Erisman of Bel Air, MD; daughters Margaret Stamm, wife of Rev. Dr. Mark Stamm of Richardson, TX, and Cynthia Erisman-Ward, wife of William Ward, Jr of Seven Valleys, PA; grandsons Matthew and Timothy Stamm; granddaughters Victoria and Elizabeth Erisman; and sisters, Barbara Weidman of Mount Joy and Judith Mitchell of Lancaster. Sally was pre-deceased by a younger sister, Linda Urey.
A Celebration of Life for Sally will be held 11:30 AM Saturday, March 19, 2022 with The Rev. Robert Garvey officiating, at West Willow United Methodist Church, 118 West Willow Road, Willow Street, PA 17584. Her family will greet friends from 10:15 to 11:15 AM before the service. A luncheon in the Fellowship Hall will follow the service. Private burial took place at Zion Church Cemetery in Millersville, PA.
