Sarah S. Tigani

Born in 1948 in Charlottesville, VA, Sally spent most of her life in Wilmington and the surrounding areas. A graduate of Brandywine High School, Sally attended Smith College before receiving her Bachelor’s degree from the University of Delaware.

Sally spent many years as a homemaker, raising her two children while volunteering her time with many local charitable organizations including the Junior League of Wilmington. When her children were school-aged, Sally and her friend started their own children’s clothing business, Cameron Collection, manufacturing handmade children’s clothing to many different types of retailers and even owning their own shop in Montchanin. Later on in her career, Sally spent her time working in the fields of both floral and interior design.  Sally was such a creative person and had many interests including gardening and travel but most of all she enjoyed spending time with her children and grandchildren.

    Special condolences to Sally’s closest family members—Mike, Lisa, Dave, Brooke and Peter. You brought Sal her greatest joy. Sally advised and supported me as my Big Sister, even though we lived most of our lives far from each other. I especially cherish now the life memories she and I shared during the 5 years we lived together as old ladies in Landenberg. —Jean Spraker
