Sally Sphar

Sally Sphar was born in Altadena, California to Curt and Virginia Sphar. The family moved to the Santa Barbara Central Coast when Sally was an infant. She was a lifelong Santa Barbara County resident and lived in the City of Santa Barbara for over 50 years.

Sally had a love of surfing and the beach – surfing South Coast surf spots beginning in the early 1960s. She loved music, dancing and was an avid concert goer. Sally was a long time supporter of the Sings Like Hell music series held at the Lobero Theatre and of WDVX Radio, a wonderful independent station in Knoxville, Tennessee. As Sally would say, “It’s online – consider giving it a try sometime!”

Sally passed away in February. She is survived by her brother, Mike Sphar, godson, Brandon Anderson and many cherished friends.

If you are so inclined, one of her favorite nonprofits was Food from the Heart.
