Obituary
Savoy, Mary Gertrude "Sis" (Age 93) of Pomfret, Maryland.
Mary Gertrude "Sis" Swann Savoy was born, October 4, 1921 to the late Walter Thomas Swann and the late Mary Lottie Proctor Swann in Charles County, Maryland.
Sis, as she was lovingly called by her family, was educated in the Charles County School System in Port Tobacco, Maryland. She married the late William Augustine Savoy, Sr. and from their union seven children were born. In addition to being a loving wife and stern disciplinarian, Sis' career path developed from personal housekeeping to entering the federal government with the Naval Ordnance Station in Indian Head, Maryland and finally retiring from St. Elizabeth Hospital in Washington, D.C. as a Supervisor. Sis was a workaholic that loved to tend to her yard, spend time at the casinos and crochet. In her 90's she was always strong in her convictions and was determined to drive her car and lawnmower.
