Daily News | Sally Anne Royle Hardy, popular emergency management administrator, dies at 83
Sally Anne Royle Hardy, 83, of Philadelphia, a popular and efficient longtime administrator with the city’s Office of Emergency Management and later with the Southeastern Pennsylvania Regional Task Force for emergency management, died Tuesday, Feb. 15, of pneumonia at VITAS hospice center at Nazareth Hospital.
“So they would call the office, and Sally would walk them through the process,” said Mike Nucci, Philadelphia’s former director of emergency management. “But she was so patient, so understanding, that she would end up doing all their work filling out the papers. She was so generous, so conscientious.”
“She could do everything,” Nucci said. “If there was a problem for someone, Sally knew what to do. One person said to me once: ‘That Sally is quite daunting.’ ” She was social, stylish, and sophisticated, called good things “marvelous,” and often went out of her way to make things marvelous for her family and friends. She helped pay for her nephew’s trip to London as a high school graduation gift and served as a glamorous role model for her niece, Abigail Royle, and other women.
