Savanah Patricia Gatchell

Savanah was born on November 5th, 2011 to Christine H. Gatchell in Salem, MA. Savanah attended Marblehead Veterans Middle School and was entering 8th Grade. She enjoyed going to school and really liked her recent math class. Savanah spent her time hanging out with friends and playing volleyball.

Savanah, a gentle soul, cared deeply for others. She was compassionate and kind to those around her. Truly her light shone bright in this world. Savanah was always looking out for those she cared most about. She enjoyed being with her family, friends, and pets. Savanah had a natural gift for creative expression through art and fashion. She also greatly enjoyed cooking & baking as well as tending to her cat, Tilly and best K9 pal, Sadie.

Savanah loves her Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ and spent her time here growing in her faith. The Lord called his beautiful, beloved daughter home. It was sudden and much sooner than we expected. Savanah will be missed beyond words that can be spoken but we know we will see each other again at the appointed time.

Savanah is survived by her mother, Christine H. Gatchell, her sister and very best friend, Allysa M. Otero, her Auntie Laura M. Gatchell, her cousin, Noah Cruz, other relatives, and many friends. She is predeceased by her grandfather Ed and grandmother, Patty.
