Kenneth D. Salls Sr., 87, loving husband, father, grandpa and brother, died on Thursday, April 11, 2024, in his home in Johnson with his family nearby.
In 1960 Ken met the love of his life, Addie Curtis, and they married on Aug. 4, 1960. Soon after the wedding, Ken and Addie moved to Florida, where Ken went to college, and then they moved to Washington where he took a job with Boeing.
They lived in three more states before settling in Morrisville to raise their four children and added one more to the family. Ken worked for over 20 years for the Morrisville Water and Light Department, retiring in the late 1990s.
The family home was sold in the early 2000s and they moved to Johnson where they have lived happily for the last 20 years. The Order of the Eastern Star was a big part of Ken’s life. He and Addie were very active members and made many friends and fond memories with the Eastern Star family. He was a Worthy Grand Patron for the state in 1994. His love for this order was evident to those who knew him.
Ken is survived by his wife and best friend, Addie; four of their children, Ken Jr., Mary Salls-Audet, Scott and Addie Mae; grandchildren and great-grandchildren; brother, Thomas Salls and his wife, Pamela; and several nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his son, Curtis; sister, Arlene Keith; and his parents.
There will be a private family service on Sunday, April 28, 2024. There will also be an Eastern Star on Saturday, May 18, 2024, at the Masonic Temple in Morrisville at noon.
In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Lamoille County Home Health and Hospice.
