Sallie Ann Landy Stroman was born October 13, 1948 in Aiken County, South Carolina to the late Lawrence Clifton, Sr. and Maggie W. Staley Landy. She departed this life on Monday, July 2, 2012 at Doctor's Hospital, Augusta, Georgia, after a brief illness. At an early age she joined the Friendship Baptist Church in Salley, South Carolina. She served there for many years. Later she had a deeper spiritual calling which led her to Antioch Bible Way Church, Wagener, South Carolina where she continued to grow while building upon her spiritual wisdom and knowledge.
She attended Aiken County Public Schools and graduated from A. L. Corbett High School. She earned an Associate Degree in Business Administration (Secretarial Science) from the University of South Carolina, Aiken.
Miss Sallie Ann Landy was united in holy matrimony to Oscar D. Stroman, Jr. on December 23, 1972. To this union three sons were born: Oscar D. III, Frankee C., and Scott F. Stroman.
Sallie Ann was well diverse in the professional community, and she was an expert in her field of study which included years of service to: Franklin D. Beattie and Wesley Smith, Attorney at Law - 15 years; Aiken Technical College, Office of Dean of Admissions - 5 years; Savannah River Site, Office Manager - 20 years; and her last job assignment was Plant Vogtle (The Shaw Group) in Waynesboro, Georgia. Sallie Ann always brought her smile and flavor to all her work places and left a lasting impression to all who met her.
Working in the church was natural and it showed through the many beautiful hats she wore and the jobs she performed which were: Mass Choir Director and Member, Junior and Senior Missionary, Sunday School Teacher, Church and District Secretary - SC South Central District, Program and Kitchen Committees, Church Sexton, and Women in White Captain.
