Sally Watts

Sally comes to us from a small town in western Pennsylvania, though she and her husband Richard have called Southwest Florida home for the past twenty-four years. Richard has three grown children and grandchildren in the northeast.

A graduate of Slippery Rock University, Sally has spent her career following her true passion: engaging with people. She has directed programs at Senior Choice at Home, Avow Hospice, and most recently served as Program and Membership Services Director of The Parkinson’s Association—each role reflecting her deep commitment to connecting with and caring for others.

Sally is also a vocal advocate for mental health awareness, having been raised by a mother who struggled with mental illness. She channeled that experience into her memoir, Blemished But Not Broken, which she self-published and which went on to win the Gold Medal in the Wishing Shelf international writing contest in 2018. When she’s not working, Sally enjoys art and loves curling up with memoirs and biographies, especially ones that inspire her next travel adventure.
