Mrs. Savell, 82, of Union, died Friday, July 30, 2004, in Burke, Va.
She was born Sept. 13, 1921, to George and May Gamble in Little York, Ind. She graduated from Little York High School in May 1939. She graduated from the Methodist Hospital of Indiana School of Nursing in October 1942. She was commissioned in the U.S. Navy in May of 1943 and served on active duty in the Nursing Corps from June 1943 to February 1946. She was stationed in Farragut, Idaho and San Diego, where she met her husband, Carl Savell. She was honorably discharged from the U.S. Navy Reserve in March 1951, while holding the rank of lieutenant (junior grade). She was married on Sept. 26, 1946, and was a faithful wife for 55 years until her husband's death in August 2001.
In the late 1940s, the couple lived briefly in Chattanooga, Tenn. and Longview, Wash., before settling in Richmond, Ind. to raise their family. While raising three boys from 1949 to 1973, she worked as a registered nurse at Reid Memorial Hospital and in private practice. In 1975, Lorraine and Carl moved to a farm near Union, where they enjoyed their animals, family and frequent visits from their sons. Lorraine continued to work as a nurse at the Choctaw Indian Hospital in Philadelphia. She retired and un-retired more than once, always answering the call, working double shifts well into her mid-seventies. She loved animals of all types, especially birds, dogs, cats and ducks. In her later years, she often spent more on bird feed than she did on herself. She was an avid gardener who loved to read books, watch movies and can fruit and preserves. She lived her life in the service of others. She was a loving wife and mother and an exceptional nurse who dedicated her life to serving, caring for and healing people.
Survivors include her sons, Mark and his wife, Maria, of Hopkinton, Mass., Michael, of Kingstowne, Va., and Marlin and his wife Karen, of Burke, Va.; grandchildren, Zachary, Alexandra, Nicholas, and Matthew; sisters, Ruth Kettrey and Lois Henry of Winter Haven, Fla.
