Savannah Jill Powell Lovett
Grand Entrance – Jan. 3, 1997
Rescued and presented with wings of honor on Oct. 12.
She was way past due. Why? No one knew. Family and friends were so patient even after false alarm number five, so they sat again watching the clock tick by.
Then without warning her grand entrance was at hand. She blew in with a snow storm. The only thing missing was a band.
Savannah’s life was filled with a little bit of this and a little bit of that. She felt every emotion. Traveled mountains to sea, danced and tapped. From ocean to ocean, proud and full of glee. Cirque du Soleil, Nutcracker Suite, and The Doris Day Debut would provide contentment for her busy feet. They would consume her time, making her the coolest daughter of all time.
She was a lover of all God’s creatures and all that grew up in the garden or fell from the tree. She was a proud explorer, a seeker of knowledge and understanding of all things. These are bits of Savannah’s wisdom as a gift to you:
The only real failure is the failure not to try.
It’s never too late to be who you are supposed to be.
Anything you think you cannot do, you must do.
Life should be touched, not strangled.
Do something today that your future self will thank you for tomorrow.
She held high regard for grandmother Karla Powell, who taught her to be a lady, learn different languages, appreciate cultures from around the world, and to be prepared for any invitation, especially an afternoon tea with the Queen of Buckingham Palace.
She leaves behind her mother Suzanne Powell Lovett, father Rick Lovett, brother Dakota Powell Lovett, grandmothers Karla Powell and Judy Lovett, Aunt Iris, Uncle Ray Lovett, and Aunt Amy as well as beautiful cousins Brittany Owens, Carter Hilbers, Eliot Hilbers Hardee, Emily, Saskai, Leon, Aunts Celina and Caro, and many other beautiful relatives from around the world.
Graduation and celebration of her donning of angel’s wings will be at the Royal Theater Monday, Jan. 3, at 2 p.m., a date that coincides beautifully with the date of her birth.
The evening will be both a memorial service for Savannah and a time of awareness for Human Trafficking Month. The service will conclude with speakers focusing on Human Trafficking Month and addressing the tragedy of another pandemic that must be cured.
