Sally Mason Kilbourn Fore died peacefully after a courageous battle with cancer on March 5, 2017 in Wilmington, NC.
Sally was born in Groton, Massachusetts on December 15, 1947, and was raised in Delray Beach, Florida.
She is survived by her fiancé Kenneth Gallant; her daughter Laura Martin Drew (Burke); and her grandson Rowan Drew. She is also survived by Kenneth’s family, Kenneth Gallant Jr. (Heidi), and their daughter (granddaughter) Danielle, along with grandchildren Kelly Manz (Kyle), their daughter (great-granddaughter) Kasey, as well as Kyle Grady and Tyler Konan (Ann-Marie). She is predeceased by her parents, Mary Elizabeth Benedict Kilbourn and George Rogers Kilbourn.
Sally raised her daughter in Georgetown, SC. There, she worked for the City of Georgetown Water Department, volunteered for both the Boy Scouts of America and the Georgetown Police Auxiliary. Sally’s outgoing personality was perfect for her work in Theater, including productions for the Swamp Fox Players Theater Group and Georgetown Chamber of Commerce’s annual Ghostbusting Tour. While in Georgetown, she earned her degree in Business Administration. It was later, after her daughter married, that Sally moved to Massachusetts where she met Kenneth.
Sally was a go-go dancer in the sixties, so it should be no surprise that she was the life of the party. Her fun, gregarious spirit will be missed by her friends and family.
Her visitation will be Wednesday from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Wilmington Funeral & Cremation Village Road Chapel. Funeral services will be held Thursday at 12 noon in the Village Road Chapel. There will be a graveside service Saturday at 11 a.m. in the Groton Cemetery, 242 Hollis Street in Groton, Massachusetts.
The family would like to express their deep gratitude to the staff of the Lower Cape Fear Hospice.
