Passing of Sally Nixon, Aging and Long Term Care Manager 

The Human Services Department suffered a great loss today with the passing of Sally Nixon, Aging and Long Term Care Manager.  She had been at home for serveral weeks, still intent on battling and winning her fight with cancer.  Sally's leadership and vision will be missed in the field of long term disabilities and aging.  She was respected not just in Pierce county, but throughout the State for the work she did. One of Sally’s requests was to gather at a service in memory of her life which will be held in Port Orchard. More details will follow as arrangements are made.
