Born on Dec.8, 1924, Sally died peacefully on Feb. 8, 2013 in Baton Rouge. She is survived by her sons, Tom Kunstler and JAK Kunstler, and his wife, Donna; grandchildren, Tommy Kunstler, Fritz Kunstler, Jason Kunstler, Katy Kunstler, and Jenni Kunstler Hutchison, and her husband, Jacob; and two beautiful great grandsons, River and Rowan Hutchison. She also leaves her sister-in-law, Andree Keil Moss, nieces, Margo Moss Weiner and Lisa Frank, nephews Peter Moss, II and Keil Moss and their spouses and children. Sally leaves many life-long friends and will be especially missed by her dear friend and caregiver, Cora Nealond, who could always surprise her and make her smile. She was preceded in death by two adored husbands, Albert Kunstler and Fred Jellin; her parents, Selma Elias Moss and Mike M. Moss, and her beloved brother, Peter E. (Pete) Moss. Sally was a successful businesswoman who, with her mother, owned Selma Moss, Inc., the first suburban ladies ready- to- wear stores in New Orleans. After graduating from Newcomb College, she was one of the first women ever to earn an MBA degree from the Stern School of Business at New York University. She was proud to be one of the founders of Project Learn, a televised literacy program in New Orleans and a supporter of the Mental Health Association in New Orleans. Sally was quite a "social butterfly", had a large circle of dear friends and was renowned for her fabulous cooking and entertaining. Internment Service will be held Thursday, February 14, 11:00 AM at Hope Mausoleum, 4841 Canal St, New Orleans. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to The Food Bank of Greater Baton Rouge, Second Harvesters Food Bank in New Orleans, or Congregation B'nai Israel in Baton Rouge.

I had the honor of knowing your Mother when we worked together at Martha Ann Samuels Real Estate lakefront office and she and Mr. Jellin were our neighbors in the Lake Terrace subdivision of New Orleans. What a wonderful mentor she was and inspiration to us all. She reminded me of my own Mother who was born in 1925 and lives in Mississippi.
May God bless and comfort all Sally's family with fond memories of her life.
In condolences and sympathy,

Jack, Tommy, and families,
Steve and I were deeply saddened to hear of your mother's death. We have such fond memories of her and times spent together with our families. Who could ever forget the beef Wellington!? She was a dear friend to my parents and to us. We will miss her.
With love,
Ann and Steve Kern

A life at the end is who we touch, what we bring into the world and how we are remembered. Sally brought so many good things into this world and touched me personally with two of these. JAK and Tom, her sons have been and will continue to be wonderful friends. Sally and Fred were always so kind to me and both are missed terribly. Do not be sad over her death but celebrate her life and the ways she touched you. Remember and pass those memories to the next and the next and the next....... generations. She was loved, respected and deserved to be.
