Altha Pearl Warenskjold - born June 15, 1922 in Cleburbe. She graduated from Cleburne High School and married Rogers Wright Tittle on June 28, 1940.
During WWII, while her husband was in the Marine Corps, Sally became "Rosie the Riveter" building B-24's for Consolidated in Fort Worth. She and their daugther Diane lived with her mother and grandmother in Cleburne. Taking a bus to work was not that easy but that changed when she found a fellow employee from Cleburne that she ended up riding with.
After the war she and Rogers decided to leave Cleburne and move to South America but only got as far as Beaumont, Texas before running out of money. Rogers, who was an extremely intelligent man, saw an ad that Sun Oil Company was looking for a Geologist. He went to the library to read up on what a Geologist job consisted of, applied and started a career that lasted from 1946 until he retired in 1979.
She and Rogers had four children; Diane, Rogers Bryant, Sally Sue and Rebecca Lynn.
On 23 September 1957, Sally, the mother of four children, entered Lamar University in Beaumont as a freshman along with her oldest daughter, Diane, who was not happy having her as a classmate. Sally graduated with honors on 28 May 1960 with a Bachelor in Elementary Education degree. She began teaching full time at Pietzsch Elementary in Beaumont. She continued her education by attending evening classes and also during summer vacations. In the summer of 1966 she received 30 credits beyond her Masters Degree in Education.
Sun Oil transferred Rogers to Dallas in 1970 and Sally began teaching at Bradfield Elementary in Highland Park until she retired in 1987. After teaching for a total of 27 years she continued as a substitute and tutor until just a few years of her death. Sally was called "Mama Bear" by her students many of whom kept in contact with her even after they graduated from college.
