Jennifer Monique Savell

She is survived by her mother and father, Beverly and Morton Savell, her sister, Lisa, her brother, Aaron, and her extended family.

Our daughter, our sister, our friend, and with all the love in the world, Jennifer Monique Savell blessed our lives for a little over 40 years. We are lucky to have known and experienced her tenacious love and humble spirit. Jenny was a rockstar in our eyes and she earned a big worldwide fan base traveling with her family over 40 years. She loved to listen to music, to dance, to bowl, to skate, to swim, to sing, to work and to party. We got 40 years of what we thought was us teaching Jenny, but it really was 40 years of Jenny teaching us. Her lessons stick with us and she has trusted us to carry her love on into the world. Jenny had a rich life of parties, travel, and friends. She never met a person that she didn’t fall in love with and who fell in love with her. She perfected the warmest of hugs, an enthusiastic smile, and unconditional acceptance. She inspired us with her fight to live, her example to love, and her happy disposition. Born with a congenital heart defect she became our little miracle. So often, she faced and overcame many health and developmental obstacles which taught us about love, patience, and perseverance. Her many lessons include: Celebrate the small things; Don’t sweat the small stuff and it’s all small stuff; Love is the right answer and response; Hard times are only temporary; and always find the good in everything. Thank you Lord for our gift of time with Jenny.
