Dr. Savory was my physician for over 20 years. This recent news of her death, floods me with shock & great sadness. I credit her with saving my life in 2010 when I suddenly became septic. \r\nTo her family I send my deepest sympathy & prayers of comfort. I’m sorry for the delay but I just learned of her passing. \r\nShe was a great lady!!
Dear Connie and Family,\r\nI am so sorry for your loss and that it came so quickly; it seems as though Linda had so little time to be with her grandchildren, but I know that every moment was cherished. Linda became my doctor in the fall of 1985, shortly after the birth of my only child Emily, and she was a comfort and a rock during Emily's illness and death from a GBM in 1993-94; she was my doctor and confidante until her retirement in December 2019. I could talk with her about anything, as I was a medical social worker throughout my career and worked at the Bryd Clinical Center (MUSOM) the last 9 years before my retirement in October 2017. It is so hard to believe that she is "gone from our sight" and that we can't see her again until we are all home in the Kingdom. I cling to a card I found during Emily's illness with a quote from Rossiter Worthington Raymond, and I hope that it also brings comfort to you: "Life is eternal; and love is immortal; and death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight." You will always be in my prayers.
Linda was a childhood friend and neighbor of mine on Grafton Road. Our families spent a lot of time together including some traveling. Linda and I graduated from high school the same year, and Linda was in our wedding. Linda was a wonderful person, even at a younger age she was so kind and caring. She will be deeply missed by family, friends, and the medical community. My husband and I send our sympathy to all!\r\n \r\n \r\nNeal and Cheryl Hubbard
I'm so grateful for Dr. Linda Savory. She always was willing to spend as much time as my husband, Ed, and I needed to explain situations and to give us choices for various treatments. Most of all, she was not ever afraid to say, "I don't know." This happened rarely, but when it did, she would do the research she needed to do until she found answers for us. We grieve for her family, her friends, and all of her other patients that she treated with love and kindness. over the years.
Connie - I am very sorry to hear this news. I know you are heartbroken. You and your sisters are in my prayers.
Prayers and Love
I’ll always remember Linda calling me “Mikey ” She and I did have a mutual respect. Asking me to check out her new office to ensure it was also friendly to male patients. My special memory is when she asked me to pray at her installation as the new AAFP President! We will miss her! Love and prayers to her family during this time.
So very sorry too hear of Dr. Savory’s passing. She was my doctor as well as my husband’s, and she took excellent care of us. She guided me through many difficult things, always with such compassion, honesty, and kindness. She made my life better, and healthier for the future. Sending love and sympathy to your family.\r\nHolly & Kevin Farrell
Very sorry for your loss. 🙏
Linda was an amazing servant of the Lord. She had a great love for young people who have drifted from the faith. She was a faithful choir member. She always had a smile on her face and love in her heart. I will miss her greatly.
