Sally W. Eck, 73, of Macungie, died peacefully July 25, 2020, in Lehigh Valley Hospital. The loving wife of Terry L. Eck, they were married 53 years in June.

Born in Allentown, she was the daughter of the late Warren and Estella (Cunfer) Wagner of Wescosville.

A loving wife, great mother and doting grandmother, she is remembered for her strength, kindness and ability to host a social gathering at a moment’s notice.

Despite being an only child, her family extended well beyond the traditional definition of a nuclear unit.

She made every person who entered her home feel like part of her family. She could be found in her kitchen happily preparing meals for all who gathered.

Whether snacks for her sons’ friends or full meals, she fed many, many people.

The consummate host, anyone who knew her, knew she loved to have a good time. Her laugh was contagious and her sense of humor instilled in her sons a lifelong appreciation of comedy.

She spent many years working in the health care system. Following health care, she became a part-time travel agent.

She and her husband traveled around the globe, cruising the entire Caribbean, Hawaii and Alaska.

She was a devout member of Faith Presbyterian Church, Emmaus.

She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

In addition to her husband, she is survived by sons Steven and wife, Elizabeth (Betsy) Turner, and Daniel and wife, Jennifer M. Eck; and grandchildren, Ryan, Thomas, Daniel and Mary.

Visitation will be 6-8 p.m. July 30 and 9-10 a.m. July 31 at Trexler Funeral Home, 1625 W. Highland St., Allentown.

Services will be private.

In lieu of flowers, a donation in her memory may be made to Faith Presbyterian Church, 3002 N. 2nd St., Emmaus, PA 18049.
