Sally Wise Russo

Sally Wise Russo 

It is with profound sorrow that we record the passing of Sally Jean Wise Russo on March 13 at the age of 79. She was a cherished wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, who died at home, surrounded by her loving family.  

Sally was born on November 4, 1935 in Philadelphia, PA, to Sarah Mitchell Wise and William Charles Wise. She was a magna cum laude graduate of Bryn Mawr College, and held Master’s degrees from the Yale University Department of Classics and from the University of Michigan School of Social Work. Due to this extensive training and her compassionate, insightful and dedicated nature, she had a long career in the Philadelphia area as a teacher, social worker, psychotherapist, and hospital administrator at the Horsham Clinic and at the Institute of the Pennsylvania Hospital.

In retirement, she and her husband moved to the Saratoga Springs, NY area to be with their daughters and their families. In her new surroundings, Sally continued to connect with and to inspire others. She will be remembered always by all who knew her for her gentle encouragement, her unfailing support, her exceptional generosity and her remarkable lovingkindness.  

She will be deeply missed by her husband of 55 years, Joseph Russo, her daughters Nina and Maura, her grandchildren Maisie and Phineas, her sisters Maureen Elizabeth and Nancy Ellen, her brother-in-law Bill Connelly, her son-in-law Mark O'Brien, her nephew Grover, her nieces Irene, Kathleen, and Rosalind, her brother- and sister-in-law Robert and Lila Russo her nephews Scott and David (Mary), and many extended family members and friends.  


Memorial services in honor of Sally will be held on Saturday March 28 at the Radnor Methodist Church, 930 Conestoga Road, Bryn Mawr, PA (11 a.m.) and at a later date in Saratoga Springs, NY.
