Maria's obituary

Maria Silvia (Perez) Saavedra, 75, of Copley, Ohio, passed away peacefully on April 27, 2020, in her home surrounded by her family (after a valiant struggle with cancer). She was born on Feb. 12, 1945, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, youngest daughter to Gen. Braulio Perez and Maria Antonieta Brea.

She is survived by her loving husband of 54 years Carlos A. Saavedra, her loving children Pablo J. Saavedra of Nashville, TN (Suzanne), Marcela B. Saavedra of Copley, OH, Patrick M. Saavedra of Bristol, TN (Jennifer), and Maria G. Seaver of Austin, TX (Jeffrey), and six loving grandchildren; Alicia Saavedra of Copley, OH, Michael, Sara, Alex, and Sophia Saavedra of Nashville, TN and Charlie Seaver of Austin, TX. With Carlos and her children, she moved to the U.S. in the early 1970s and resided since then in the Cleveland-Akron area. She was a dear wife and life partner to Carlos, an exemplary mother to her children, and a selfless, cheerful, warm, and compassionate person to her extended family and friends.

Family meant everything to her. We celebrate her life in our hearts as we mourn her passing. We ask her family and friends to do likewise until we are able to join together to celebrate her life in a Memorial Service, which we plan to announce here in the events section. Please register your email so that we may share further details.

We thank you for your prayers. In lieu of flowers, a donation in Maria Silvia's name to the Holy Family Church, Mission to Honduras. Donations can be made payable to Holy Family Church (put "Honduras" on the memo line) and mailed to Holy Family Church, Attn: Honduras Medical Mission, 3450 Sycamore Dr., Stow, OH 44224. Or do an unsolicited act of kindness for someone in need in her memory.
