In Memoriam
The Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War solemnly recognizes the passing of Sister Sally Redinger, who served as the DUVCW National President in 2016. She found her calling as an elementary school teacher. For more than 30 years at Mattawan Elementary School, she inspired generations of students and had a remarkable gift for bringing history to life. History was not only her profession, but it was also her passion. The Civil War held a special place in her heart, especially after discovering one of her ancestors had served. She enthusiastically participated in Civil War reenactments and led her students in raising funds to restore historic battle flags. PNP Redinger was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Historical Society of Michigan, and the Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War 1861–1865. PNP Redinger leaves an admirable legacy of service and patriotism that is a credit to the Allied Orders of the Grand Army of the Republic.
