I had the honor and pleasure of getting to know Savannah over the past couple of years when she came to work for Allstate. Savannah was gracious enough to connect with me once we became team members in order to learn more about me and the work I do at Allstate. We quickly became friends. Savannah was a force for positive action. She often encouraged me to work out of The Mart in Chicago with her so we could brainstorm ways to improve our products and experiences in order to help Allstaters better reach their personal and professional aspirations. Savannah was incredibly bright, kind, tenacious in the best possible way, and genuinely brought joy and gave energy to those around her.
Some of my favorite memories of our time together took place in Nashville at a work conference we attended. Savannah took us to some of her favorite restaurants, blues joints, and dive bars she knew of. These were the cool, hidden gem spots that were off the beaten path, but like her, had a timeless sense of style and character. Later during the trip, there was a former US Olympian that was presenting at the conference and commented on how difficult it had been for her and many other Olympians to find “normal” jobs once their Olympic careers are over . Savannah made a point to track down that Olympian after the conference and offer development strategies on how to frame her experience and accomplishments on her resume and in interviews. Savannah even tried to get her placed in a few roles at Allstate! To me, that story exemplifies how much Savannah cared for other people. If someone needed help, Savannah offered it, with a full heart. I can only hope and strive to carry on that legacy of warm and generous behavior to the people in my own life, because it makes the world a better place.
I am incredibly grateful I got to know Savannah. She will be missed so much, by so many. She is gone but not forgotten. Thank you for everything, Savannah.

Savannah always reminded me to take time to do the things you enjoy doing, enjoy the cocktail and go outside and touch some grass as they say. Continually sending love and healing to her family and loved ones.

I don’t remember how I met Savannah, but she was always a kind face saying hello at shows I went to or a friendly Facebook chat away. One of the kindest and most friendliest people I have ever met with clearly passion in every and anything she did. We had lost touch as people do as adults in a changing world, but it was crushing to hear about her passing. Sending her husband and family so much love and prayers.
