Meet An “Amazing” Who Decrypted Enemy Communications In WWII

Sally Sellars, at 100, cherishes her memories of being a “code girl” at 22. She was a member of the secret team of WWII enemy communications decoders recruited from universities who would work on decrypting and translating messages twelve hours a day, six days a week.

Life after the war seemed less thrilling to Sally, but with the seven children that she and her husband raised, life couldn’t have been less busy. Sally also attended art classes at Pasadena City College, was an active member of the League of Women Voters and volunteered with the Japanese American National Museum.

After her beloved husband passed in 1988, Sally traveled and lived abroad, finally coming back to the US, where she now enjoys California sunshine and scenery, classical music, and a plethora of children, grand-children and great-grand-children.
