Sally Kirkland, now 84, is currently battling dementia and has been placed under hospice care in Palm Springs, California. Her representative, Michael Greene, confirmed she has dealt with dementia for about a year. Throughout this difficult time, her close friend and former student, Cody Galloway, has remained a supportive presence.
After nearly ten years, Sally found love again with Mark Hebert, marrying him in 1985. However, their marriage eventually ended in divorce. While the reasons for their separation remain private, those close to Sally say she sought emotional depth and stability in her relationships, which was challenging given her public life.
Despite two marriages, Sally never had biological children and lacked the support of a life partner or children during tough times.
Sally held a strong bond with her late daughter, Jan Kirkland, who was from Rob Kirkland's earlier relationship, and her granddaughter, Hannah Bonta. Tragically, they were both murdered in 2019 in Florida.
Jason Dale Roseman was sentenced to life in prison for stabbing his brother during a domestic dispute.
Jan and Hannah passed away just weeks after Robert's death due to kidney failure.
Sally Kirkland’s life reflects profound personal loss and challenges, balanced by enduring bonds and support amid her ongoing health struggles.
