With Sympathy: Youvanna Savel

Our thoughts are with Darren Savel and his family following the passing of his mother, Youvanna. Darren has been an employee of the RRA for over 20 years.

Youvanna M. Savel, 80, of Monroe Township, passed away Wednesday Morning, January 28, 2015 at the Ashtabula County Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Kingsville, OH, following a brief illness. She was born October 9, 1934 in Kingsville, OH, and was the daughter of Michael and Emma (Walker) Lipenski.

Youvanna graduated from Kingsville High School in 1952, and had worked for the Illuminating Company in customer service, retiring in 1993.

She was a member of Kelloggsville United Methodist Church for over 50 years and also a member of the Ladies Aid and the Kelloggsville Heritage Committee. She enjoyed ice skating events, word seek puzzles, reading, country music, and rose gardening. Her greatest joy was being with her family and spoiling her feline companion, Lola.

Survivors include her two daughters Connie (Ronnie) Kister of Kingsville, and Rhonda (Mark) McIntyre of Conneaut; her son Darren (Lisa) Savel of Kingsville; six grandchildren Christopher (fiancé Miriah) and Zachary (Maggie) Kister, Emma and Ian McIntyre, and Brittany and Thea Moller; two great-grandchildren Maddy McDonald and Jack Elliot Kister; and many brother and sister in laws, nieces, nephews and more distant relatives.

She is preceded in death by her parents; her husband Robert L. Savel in 2012, whom she married on July 11, 1959; three sisters Helen George, Lillian Bartlett and Nellie Root; and two brothers Adolph Lipenski, and Clarence Lipenski in infancy.

Funeral service will be 11:00 A.M., Saturday, January 31, 2015 at the Marcy Funeral Home and Cremation Center, 208 Liberty St., Conneaut, with family friend and retired Pastor Aletta Burkholder officiating. Burial will follow in Kelloggsville Cemetery, Monroe Township.
