Carlin "Carly" Sacco of Pendleton died suddenly and unexpectedly on May 20, 2023, after suffering a complication related to a blood clot that developed after she broke her ankle earlier in April. Her death came as a shock to her entire family. She was 34 years old.
"I got a call the night she died from her sister-in-law, she was hysterical, she'd told me that Carly had passed away," said Stevie Sacco, Carly's mother. "I talked to several people that had talked to Carly the day she died."
Carly suffered what her mother described as a "really bad break" of her ankle, and had previously been warned by doctors that she was at risk of developing blood clots.
"She had an issue with blood clots before, she's supposed to be on blood thinners," Stevie said. "She had some concerns about it, I had to talk her out of being afraid. The truth is, she was afraid of it."
Carly's susceptibility to blood clots was discovered when she was in a car accident when she was young, becoming apparent alongside other health issues the crash caused.
"Apparently while she was recovering from the broken ankle, a blood clot broke loose and either went up to her heart of her lungs," Stevie said.
Carly is survived by her five children, the youngest of which is 18 months old, and her fiance, Rashad Cooper.
Maj. DeWayne Halstad of the Pendleton Salvation Army started a GoFundMe page for Cooper and the children. According to Halstad, Carly's fiance has not worked in the last month because he was home taking care of her and their little boy.
"He is in desperate need of some financial assistance to pay the bills until he is able to get back to work," according to the statement on the GoFundMe page. "And I think it would be nice to set a little money aside for the children for their education in the future. Carly was very much into continuing her education. So my goal is to get enough to buy each child a $1,000 savings bond to use for their education and for a little extra for Rashad to be able to pay his bills and be able to start his life over now."
Carly's church leaders and The Salvation Army in Pendleton banded together to assemble a fundraiser for the benefit of Carly's children, Stevie said, which came as a surprise to her.
"Carly's children meant more to her than anything in the world," Stevie said. "She loved being a mother, and she loved education."
Stevie said the loss of Carly has shocked and devastated her entire family, and in many cases her loved ones are processing the reality that Carly is gone.
"I know I'm not doing good," Stevie said. "I've been sobbing for days, not sleeping, not eating. My parents are in their 80s, and I've never seen my father cry before this."
Stevie and Carly's father are divorces, with Stevie living in Texas, and Carly's father in Ohio. Stevie said both of them intend to fly out to Pendleton to attend Carly's celebration of life Wednesday, May 31, and to help the family get settled.
"Carly had a really rough adulthood, she ran away from home and had some really difficult years," Stevie said. "But she was very proud of the fact that she got herself together, went back to school, and not only earned her bachelor's degree, but she also earned two masters degrees in sports marketing. She was so proud of her continued education."

“So? None of them killed her before.... it could still very well have been the vaxx after all.”
Brilliance. I’m persuaded.
Speaking of blood clots...

There are several mistakes in the article. “She was supposed to be on blood thinners” does not imply that she wasn’t, we don’t know but assume she was.
That “hint” you are taking out of context. She was on medication - that was supposed to ask why it didn’t work.
No. She was not vaccinated.
