Olivia Storter Savidge, age 99 of Dickson, Tennessee formerly of Naples, Fla, passed away on Monday, October 17, 2022.
Our mother loved God’s word. An early childhood memory, growing up in Naples as a fisherman’s daughter, was her daddy placing his hand on her head as she repeated “Jesus, make me a good girl and take me to heaven.” In the early morning hours on October 17th the One who loves her the most took our virtuous Mother to heaven.
Born September 7, 1923, she lived 99 years, as a good daughter to parents, Robert and Marilea Storter, sisters Betty and Marguerite, brother Lemuel, loving wife for 70 years to William (Bill) Savidge, and mother to four daughters, ten grandchildren, 22 great-grandchildren and one great great-grandson. Her final years were spent in the loving care of daughter Billie and granddaughter Mindy in Tennessee.
A wise mentor, counselor and prayer warrior, family and friends could call day or night, and knew the moment the phone was down she’d be on her knees. At all times, “In her tongue was the law of kindness.” Her hands were always ready to prepare food for family and those in need. A joy in later years was sewing over 200 comfort quilts for friends and strangers
“She will do good all the days of her life.” And she did. We have been left a heritage far above rubies.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her daughter; Peggy Savidge Gammel.
She is survived by her daughters; Billie Mochow, Barbara Cain, Betty Briggs, 10 grandchildren, 22 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandson.
Funeral services will be held, Wednesday, November 2, 2022, at 2:00 PM from the Chapel of Hodges Funeral Home in Naples Fla. Visitation with the family will be held at Taylor Funeral Home on Monday, October 24, 2022, from 1:00 to 2:00 PM. Burial will be in the Naples Memory Gardens.
