Obituary for Angela June "Angie" Savery
Angela “Angie” Savery of Middlefield, MA was surrounded by her loved ones on the morning of September 27 as she passed into death in the same manner as she lived her life: with quiet grace.
Angie was born to Ed and Laura Horalek in Gering, Nebraska on December 20, 1939. Her family moved to Middlefield when she was a young girl, where she met her childhood sweetheart, Rodney G. Savery. They were married on September 6, 1958.
As a teenager, she worked for Dr. Starbuck at the Big House in Middlefield where she honed her amazing cooking skills and impeccable housekeeping. She drove school bus for many years before settling in at the Gateway Regional School cafeteria where she was well known for her amazing cinnamon buns. She retired in 2008 after 30 years. Angie also enjoyed her summers working for Moe and Nancy Pease at their Blue Heaven Blueberry Farm for nearly 30 years.
Angie had many talents ranging from cultivating vibrant flower gardens to painting her many craft projects, but nothing compared to her joy of whipping up delicious food to share with her family and friends. Sunday dinners at the Savery house were legendary: everyone was welcome at our table and no one ever left hungry.
Angie will be remembered as a generous and loving woman who always put everyone’s needs before her own. Her love for her husband and family was unconditional. She will be remembered as a person of immense strength, never giving up or uttering a word of complaint in even the toughest of times. All who knew her will miss the warmth of her heart and the joy of her laughter. She was and will always remain deeply loved by her family and will forever be our “Angie, the Christmas Tree Angel”.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her brothers, Eddie and Bobby Horalek; her son, Thomas Savery; and her granddaughter, Emily Savery.
She is survived by her beloved husband of 62 years, Rodney G. Savery; her sons Skip, John, and Doug Savery; her daughter, Terri Mayer and son-in-law Andy Mayer; her grandchildren Jill (Chris) Strong, Madison Mayer, and Carson Savery; as well as two sisters, Dodie (Jack) Guyette and Janie (Kit) Hudson.
FUNERAL NOTICE: There will be no services or calling hours. In lieu of flowers or contributions Angie would be thrilled if you would enjoy a big bowl of ice cream with your family and hold dear the simple things in life. DERY FUNERAL HOME, 54 Bradford St, Pittsfield, MA, is handling the arrangements.
