She was born on Dec. 12, 1949, in Orrington, ME, the daughter of Carlton and Nellie Bailey Savage. She was a graduate of Brewer High school, class of 1968. She worked for several years, while raising her children, in the Brunswick area. She was employed in food service for both the Brunswick Junior High and, most recently, Bowdoin College, where she was known as “Weezie” and especially enjoyed “lunching with the ladies” from Thornton Hall.
She was a creative and inventive crafter who enjoyed sharing the creations of this interest with her family and friends. She enjoyed the excitement of gambling, making regular trips to Oxford with her partner-in-crime and lifelong friend, Sharon Kempf; Ms. Savage was happy to be able to make a recent trip with both her children to the newest casino in Bangor. She loved her adopted cat from A Paw In The Door, Hidey, whom was her special buddy for several years.
She was a true friend and amazing woman, who treasured her friendships from childhood which she shared with her dear and oldest fiends, Cindy Metivier and Jan Bowden. She enjoyed reminiscing about “up home” and the adventures the three shared in their youth. She was most proud, however, of her family and the laughs she shared with them.
She is survived by a son, Malcolm Golding III of Topsham; a daughter, Erin Savage Verney and her husband Dean of Edgecomb; the father of her children, Malcolm Golding Jr. of Topsham; two brothers, David Savage and his wife Jackie of Brunswick and Doug Savage and his wife Mary of Kenduskeag, ME; a sister, Sharon Sellers and her husband Harley of Sylva, NC; only grandson, Ricky Savage; several nieces and nephews.
Abiding her wishes, a celebration of her life will be announced in the spring. Memories and condolences can be expressed at www.brackettfuneralhome.com. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to Paws In The Door or the Ronald McDonald House.
