Sally A. (Mason) Zellner, 60, of New Tripoli, died peacefully at home on Oct. 4, 2026.

She was the loving wife of Gary L. Zellner, with whom she shared more than 30 years of marriage.

Born in Allentown, she was the daughter of James and Susan (Krauss) Mason.

She was a 1984 graduate of Emmaus High School.

She worked on local dairy farms, but her greatest joy and most cherished role was being a mother and caring for her family.

She attended Jacob’s Church in New Tripoli.

She had a gentle heart and a deep love for animals.

She enjoyed reading, but especially loved being around horses and treasured the time she spent riding them.

In addition to her husband, Gary, she is survived by her son, Kevin T. Afflerbach and his wife, Melissa Reinbold, of Vera Cruz; her daughter, Robin L. Zellner, of New York; her granddaughter, River Lee Reinbold; her sister, Wanda Mason, of Tennessee; several nieces and nephews; and her beloved fur baby, Peanut.

She was predeceased by her German Shepherd, Fluff, in 2022.

There will be no formal services at this time.
