Savannah's elementary years were spent largely in the town of Chelsea, Vermont attending school, and being a very active presence in her church and always out to make new friends. Her high school journey began at Lebanon high school, but she transferred to Hartford high school RRC program. Savannah loved life and was always willing to go on an adventure, or lend a helping hand. She was very outspoken and an opinionated person but always kind. She absolutely adored children and animals. She was always there for her friends and family and endlessly accepting and forgiving always willing to give someone another chance. She was an adventurer at heart. She loved going on bus rides with her dad to meet new people and see new places. She always enjoyed celebrating her birthday as it's on St. Patrick's Day in all it's attire and glory. Savannah's laugh was contagious. She was always the life of the party, willing to include everyone and have fun! There is an emptiness without Savannah and she will be dearly missed by her friends, family, and her community!
