Savannah was always a courageous and outspoken woman who was never afraid to speak her mind.

Savannah’s greatest passion in life was her two cats, Bruno and Oreo. Although Savannah is gone she will always live on through her sweet smile, passionate work, and positive personality that touched so many lives. She was an inspiration to all that knew her and knew her fight. Known best for her incredible strength and determination through everything she was able to accomplish and battle through

“Through every season, there has been a steady quiet rhythm to her story- a strength that took root long ago. Even in the earliest chapters, when the heart faced its greatest climb, she met the challenge with a resilience that refused to waver. That childhood bravery wasn’t just a moment in time; it was the foundation for the women she would become. Years later, when the path turned steep again, she met the fire of the unknown with that same unbreakable spirit. To fight through the shadows of her twenties and emerge into the light is a testament to a grace that is as fierce as it is deep. She carries her history not as a weight, but as a victory, standing tall as a person who has mastered the art of the beginning again. A tiny seed in out garden grew, with a spirit night and a heart so true. Through years of lessons, songs, and play you filled our world in the gentlest way. Now you rest where the sunlight gleams, in a quiet place of peaceful dreams.”
