October 8, 1921 — November 18, 2009
LANCASTER - Virginia Morse Savage, 88, died November 18, 2009, at the home of her daughter in Underhill, VT.
Jini was born on October 8, 1921, in Lancaster, the youngest child of Charles and Mary (Brainard) Morse.
She was raised in Lancaster and was a graduate of Lancaster Academy and on February 21, 1946 she married Leonard Savage of Lancaster. She went on to work as a telephone operator and later joined the WAC's during WWII spending six months in Texas. She later worked as a cook at the Morse Lodge in Lancaster, now known as Joshua's, and eventually became the owner. She loved to cook and was noted for her pastries, rolls, and fudge. Another love was antiques, auctions and attending flea markets and yard sales. When she and Leonard retired they enjoyed their years going to auctions and fairs.
She is survived by Leonard and their two children; a daughter, Mary Jo Berube and her partner Phil Bovia of Underhill; a son Alan Savage and his wife Joanne of Lancaster; two grandsons, John (Gail) and Jason (Tamara); and three great-grandchildren, Christopher, Ryan, and Rebekah. She was predeceased by her sister, Josephine Swan and half brother Richard Morse.
Jini also leaves three nieces and one nephew. The Swan girls always came to visit over Columbus weekend to celebrate her birthday.
