Sarah Ann (Sally) Abraczinskas, 90, New Smyrna Beach, FL passed away peacefully on May 23, 2024.

She was born September 16, 1933, in Shamokin, a daughter of the late Peter Scovern and Catherine (Rumberger) Scovern. Sally graduated from from Coal Township High School in 1951. In 1953, she married Anthony (Junior) Abraczinskas Jr. They celebrated 45 years of marriage until his passing on August 27, 1998. Sally was a member of Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church, Slabtown.

In her early years Sally worked at the F.W. Woolworth Co. and then as an operator at the Bell Telephone Company. After she married, Sally worked along side her husband Junior building the family farming and Christmas Tree Business doing various jobs where she especially enjoyed going to farmer’s market. Over time, she perfected her greatest work—making the most delicious fruit pies which won her local fame and many friends. She was an active member of Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church and enjoyed manning the ticket station at the yearly picnic. After she raised her children, she enjoyed winters in New Smyrna Beach with her husband, Junior, and then with her sisters Mabel and Toni. Her other favorite activities included a good bingo game, going to casinos and reading mystery books. Sally took great pride in planting colorful summer flowers around her farm house. She enjoyed crocheting afghans for her grand and great grandchildren. She also spent many enjoyable years attending her granddaughters’ sporting events cheering them on and making her peanut butter fudge for the teams. She had an active life full of generosity, overflowing with laughter, and rich in love.
