MARQUETTE –Fay Clare (Savitski) Larson, 2002 W. Ridge Street, Marquette, passed away in the loving care of her family at Marquette General Hospital early Sunday morning, November 26, 2006.
She was born on July 13, 1936 in Marquette, a daughter of Clifford and Delphine (Bourgeois) Savitski.
Fay loved life though she suffered several illnesses throughout her life, but during her windows of good health she lived her life to the fullest. She was an avid fisherwoman and hunter, and loved nature and the outdoors. She was an excellent cook and enjoyed gardening, especially her flowers. Fay enjoyed traveling, the highlight being her trip with Paul to Alaska. She was no stranger to the casinos and “lady luck” often fell in her path. Spending time with family and friends was dearest to her heart. She will be remembered as a loving and very giving person.
Fay is survived by her husband, Paul D. Larson; three daughters, Vicky (Murray) Sheppard, Dafter, Cindy Costantino (fiancée, Jon Gustafson), Marquette, and Patty (Jim) D’Annibale, Grand Junction, CO; eight grandchildren, Felicia, Kristy, Selina, Shanece, James, Sean, Ricky, and Nicky; two great-grandsons, Austin and Shyler; two brothers, Ronald (Ann) Savitski, Wernersville, PA, and Robert (Noni) Savitski, Appleton, WI; a sister, Patricia (Ray) Lakenen, Marquette; a brother-in-law, William (Judy) Larson, Negaunee; a sister-in-law, Marylou Savitski, Negaunee; and was a loving aunt to many nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents, Fay was preceded in death by an infant son, Anthony Joseph.
