EAST WILTON — Sybilla A. “Sally” Bachelder, 81, of East Wilton, formerly of Oxford, died Tuesday, Oct. 5, at her son’s home in East Wilton, surrounded by her loving family.

Sally was a homemaker to her husband and six children. She enjoyed crocheting, quilting and sewing. The owner of a “magic pot,” she could put together amazing meals out of what seemed like nothing.
