Diane Lillian Savory passed on at home in love and peace early in the morning of December 21, 2020, just as fall turned to winter. She was born in Seattle, Washington January 13, 1942 and grew up in Seattle and Enumclaw, Washington. Her father, Ralph, was born in Santa Rosa to Lillian Phillips and Walter Savory; the Savory and Phillips families emigrated to Sonoma County in the 1800s and settled land in the Bennett Valley, Sonoma Mountain and Mount Taylor areas, so she spent time here while growing up visiting family.
A long time Graphic Artist in Sonoma County, she studied at the junior college after graduating from San Jose State and attending the University of Washington.
She met
her husband of 27 years, Peter Stickney, when working with him on their
spiritual center's newsletter in 1991. Her spiritual community was
diverse and very important to her, including the Center for Spiritual
Living, the annual Women's Herbal Symposium, a couple of Women's Groups
organized around Earth based ritual that heal body, heart, mind and
spirit naturally. She was a Reiki master and Wisdom Healing Qigong
student, always focused on learning to heal herself and others.
She
loved gardening at her home of 45 years in Southwest Santa Rosa and
enjoyed the family she married into with many children and
grandchildren, not to leave out the siblings-in-law and their children —
she loved being called "Auntie Diane."
She is missed by all who
knew her with friends all around this country and the world from her
travels and many activities over the years. A rich and full life has
passed into eternal life. She will always be remembered by all who she
touched here on earth with her loving smile, sly humor and excellent
art.
Blessed be, Diane Lillian Savory
