Savannah loved spending time with her mom. She was truly “mommy’s little girl.” They would attend all the new movie premiers. Savannah and Hannah traveled as well, visiting many different places like Las Vegas, Mt. Rushmore, Florida, and Disney World on several occasions. With the entire family, they recently went on a cruise.
Savannah liked listening to any type of music, but she especially loved Justin Beiber. She also enjoyed making arts and crafts, which she would give as gifts. Savannah’s generous spirit was known to bring a smile to everyone she met. School was important to Savannah and she loved the staff at Redtail Ridge Elementary School.
