In celebration of her passing, Sally would like all family and friends to come and rejoice together. A resident of Baton Rouge, Sally Jean Thompson Jouette passed away April 16, 2008 at her home. She was 74 years young, born January 18, 1934 and a native of Glemora. She was a fun and sassy lady. She was the "Matriach" of our family, just ask her.
