Marjorie (Sally) Groom passed away February 3rd, 2022 at the age of 103. She was the daughter of Ed and Ruth Tweed of Scottsdale, Arizona. She was preceded in death by her parents, Ed and Ruth Tweed, a brother Bruce Tweed and her husband, Dale Groom.
She is survived by her children Shelley Trevor, Lincoln Groom, wife Tracy Cohen, Randall Groom, wife Becky Blackmon and grandchildren, Matthew Groom, Elizabeth Allenbaugh, and Rebecca Groom as well as three great grandchildren. She has lived all over the United States but her favorite locations were Charleston, SC where she lived on the waterfront, Show Low Arizona on her ranch and Vero Beach Florida where she could be near family. Sally graduated from Northwestern University with a Masters degree in English.
The loves of her life were her children, Shelley, Lincoln and Randall. She heartedly encouraged and supported their passions—Link and Randy’s flying careers, Shelley’s riding, painting, and writing.
Sally loved to travel and did so extensively with her physician husband, Dale.
After she inherited her father’s ranch in the White Mountains of Arizona, Sally’s spirit further blossomed. She gave free rein to her love of entertaining-happy hours, picnics, dinners (many remember her Brunswick stew), and the famous Annual Beef Roast, a week-end party complete with outdoor games and awards.
She loved all kinds of animals big and small, always having a dog at her feet and enjoyed watching Shelley’s horses grazing in the pasture.
She loved to read and would rent university sponsored video lectures, one after another, on a variety of academic subjects.
Sally’s spirit and love of life never diminished. Whatever life offered, she accepted or celebrated. She took in stride both life’s major and minor upsets, always saying, “It’ll pass.”
Everyone who knew her, loved her, and misses her.
Memorials may be made to the H.A.L.O. No-Kill Rescue at 710 Jackson Street, Sebastian, FL, 32958 or the Hallie Hill Animal Sanctuary, 5604 New Road, Hollywood, SC, 29449
