Obituary Franklin, NH It is with sad hearts we say goodbye to Solange “Sally” Dorval, 89, who passed away peacefully after a full life at the Merrimack County Nursing Home in Boscawen, NH.

Sally was a very creative person, but was especially known for her expert skill at knitting, pouring countless hours of love and care into her work. Hats, sweaters, afghans, and baby outfits—many friends and family are blessed with her love-filled creations. She was a thoughtful and generous woman with a brilliant mind. She was a loving and dedicated wife, a giving mother, an attentive grandmother and a wonderful mother-in-law. Sally will be remembered for her amusing sayings, sense of humor, bottomless candy dish and interest in her surroundings, family and friends.
