Sallie met her husband, Bobby, in Artesia where he was playing for the local professional baseball team at the time. They married a couple of years later in Lubbock and later moved to Fort Worth where they had their children. In 1972, the Boyd family moved to Azle, where they would raise their family. Sallie went back to school to earn her Associates Degree from Tarrant County College and had several jobs including working for the college in the Financial Aid Department for over 20 years. She was proud of her 50-year membership in the First United Methodist Church of Azle, where she served on several committees over the years, including chairing the bereavement committee. Sallie had a servant’s heart, and enjoyed working at Attic Reruns benefiting the Azle Hospital Auxiliary, volunteering at the Lord’s Acre fundraiser at her church, and coordinating bereavement meals for many years for FUMC families who lost loved ones. In addition, for over 20 years she was responsible for counting and applying church tithes, donations, and gifts according to intended purposes.
