Sally Niewald, daughter of William and Pearl (Montney) Wartenbee, was born in Watertown, SD, on December 15, 1944. After she graduated from South Shore High School, Sally moved to Sioux Falls, SD. 

Sally was united in marriage to Larry Niewald on July 23, 1966, in South Shore, SD. She held various jobs in Sioux Falls, including one at Sioux Valley Hospital. Her biggest and most favorite job was raising her children and watching her grandchildren, and later her great-grandchildren grow up.
