Sally Carrocino was born in Wisconsin and grew up in California. She spent 35+ years as a wholesale sales representative selling home accessories to stores throughout Southern California. In an article in seniorplanet.org, Sally shared with the interviewer:
“My passion for the job was gone after John died. We were both reps. I loved it, but knew I needed a change. I have no children or family ties and needed to get out of my comfort zone and have new experiences — I didn’t care if they were good, bad or uncomfortable. I just wanted new challenges and new adventures.”
So in 2016, Sally and her terrier dog Zoe retired to Florence. Her interests include reading, walking, traveling throughout Italy and being a member of an international charity league in Florence.
Sadly, Sally Carrocino passed away in August of 2022.
