Jean (Brenchley) Savage

It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of Jean Savage on August 17, 2021, at the age of 92 years.  Jean will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Jean was born in April 1929 to Charles and Ida (Whitehead) Brenchley. Jean married the 'love of her life' Jack (John) Savage on April 9, 1955 and were married for over 65 years. Jean greatly missed Jack after he passed away on November 29, 2020. Jean and Jack had two sons Dean (Patti) Savage of Wetaskiwin and Norm Savage of Killam, two grandchildren Hannah (JD) Hill and Milo Savage.

Jean grew up on the family farm near Scollard, AB and graduated from Snake Lake School. She attended Bible College in North Vancouver before settling in Calgary. Jean and Jack also lived in Keoma, Carstairs, Camrose, and Stettler.

Jean is fondly remembered for her great love for her family and friends, gentleness, strength of Sprit, heart for God, and woman of prayer. Many people were blessed by her ministry of “Have Tea, will Travel”. Jean was a wonderful cook and baker, and crafter who attended many farmer’s markets. She also enjoyed competing in car gymkhanas / ice racing and the outdoors, especially being in Kananaskis.
