Savannah, Beloved Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Aunt and Friend. She was a strong and resilient woman. She was deeply loved by everyone. She raised 5 children and was a woman of deep faith. She took her children and grandchildren to church. One of her main goals in life was to ensure all of them knew Jesus. She always said, ‘Keep the Faith’ and there is no such thing as ‘luck’ it’s GOD.
Her family and friends were everything to her and she loved spending time with them. She loved fiercely with her whole heart.
One of her favorite things to do was soak up the sunshine, she was a sun worshiper and loved the beach.
She enjoyed taking her grandchildren camping and to the base pool. She loved playing rummy and taught many of her grandchildren how to play.
She was honored to be a Nanny to the Trent family and loved them all so much.
She had a heart of gold, loved big, was carefree, outspoken, funny, spunky, and had a bunch of sass.
She will be deeply missed and forever cherished.

I am so glad I got to see her last fall at the VFW even though it was a sad day for Randy, she was definitely sweet and feisty. Her children were just amazing in how they cared for her and reading the obituary I can see she was surrounded by the love of family. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you and I wish I could be there in person to give you all a hug. GBNF 💔😥 🙏🏼❤️
