June 7, 2006 ~ June 21, 2023
Resided in:
Sanford, Maine
Savana M. Tippett, 17, of Sanford passed away on Wednesday, June 21, 2023.
She was born on June 7, 2006, in Sanford, where she grew up with her mother and younger brother and attended local schools. She would have graduated from Sanford High School in the spring of 2024.

Savana loved other cultures and experiencing diverse foods, languages, and celebrations. She enjoyed traveling and looked forward to exploring the world. She had a quirky sense of humor, was intelligent beyond her years and loved all genres of music which could be heard blasting from her room. Savana had an outstanding knowledge of dogs, and her goal was to find a career with animals. She loved the ocean and nature in general and was interested in trying hunting. Savana's impact on all who knew her will leave a hole in many hearts.
She is predeceased by her father Daniel Tippett.
Savana is survived by her mother, Erin Brinkert, her younger brother Isaac, her grandparents Jo-Ellen and Ric Harris of Sanford, Robert Brinkert of MA, Deborah Jean of Sanford, Herb Morin, of Sanford, Dan and Sherry Tippett of AL, as well as many aunts, uncles and cousins.
