Savannah Olson-Hollis

Savannah passed away at her home, Thursday, July 7, 2005, from a tragic accident.

She was born April 25, 1987, in San Diego.

Savannah had just graduated from Columbia Falls High School. She was a determined student and a fiery addition to the lives of her classmates and friends, having been voted Most Unique Senior last September.

Savannah will be remembered by most people for her constant proclamation of her hotness ("Hotter than the Sun"), her pride in her heritage ("Viva Mexico!"), and her undying love for good music, food and good people.

She will be greatly missed by the local concert-goers, as she was known for her explosive entrances and divine sense of style. She was also the ultimate "Flip Junkie" and was an enthusiastic spark to the Flip Wilson shows.

Savannah, (aka "The Glitter Twinkie") was a goddess to those who were lucky enough to know her. Her other aliases included Penelope Jonez, Fuzzy Duck, Muffin, and The Mocha-Latte Honey.

Though she has breathed her last breath here on Earth, her outrageous energy and passion for life will live on in the hearts of those fortunate few whom she often "kidnapped" to embark upon long and extravagant adventures.

We love you, Vanna! And you've taken our hearts with you.

Savannah is survived by her mother, Helene "Amanda" Hollis; her 10-year-old brother, Christopher Donofiro; her 9-year-old sister, Nicole Donofiro; her grandpa Larry Hollis of Las Vegas, grandma Bernice Hollis; uncles Troy, Travis, and Curtis; great-grandparents, Mel and Lee Culver; cousins Cassandra, Tyler, and the newest baby boy, all from San Diego, as well as her extended Donofiro family, grandpa Chris, grandma Denise, uncle Danny, aunt Jennifer and their children.

She is preceded in death by her aunt, Laurel Lee and her grandparents, Bob and Peggy Niederhauser.
