Ann Marie Savant

She met her beloved husband, Charles A. Savant (Chuck) at age 16. They were married on June 17, 1950. They raised their family of five boys in Whittier, CA.

She was a strong woman of faith and a longtime member of both St. Bruno Catholic Church in Whittier, where she was a member of the choir, and St. Catherine of Alexandria Church in Temecula. She served as a Eucharistic Minister.

She spent countless hours volunteering at St. Jude Hospital in Fullerton and Servite High School in Anaheim.

She was passionate about travel. She traveled with her husband to most of the world's continents. Her very favorite trip was an African safari. She also loved dancing, reading and entertaining. Her greatest passion, however, was her large family.

She will be greatly missed for her gentle ways, unconditional love for her family, and strong Irish will.

She leaves behind her husband of almost 65 years Chuck; her five sons Charles II (Marilou), Daniel (Kathy), James (Peggy), Joseph (Channing) and Andrew (Julie); as well as 14 grandchildren: Julie, Matt, Katie, Chase, Tim, Kirsten, Bridget, Maggie, Jamie, Cody, Tommy, Molly, Jake and Dominica; 8 great-grandchildren: McKenna, Drew, Noah, Ainsley, Luca, Tiegan, Blayne and Abigail; as well as her sister Mary Ellen Dolan Crowder.

Her funeral Mass is Friday, February 20 at 1:00 PM at St. Catherine of Alexandria Catholic Church in Temecula.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Miller-Jones Mortuary & Crematory - Murrieta, 26855-A Jefferson Avenue, Murrieta, California.
