78-year-old Jerry Savage and 74-year-old Marcia Savage were another couple who lost their lives during Hurricane Helene. The couple from Beech Island, South Carolina found dead after the hurricane devastated lives.
54-year-old daughter of the couple, Tammy Estep, shared with USA Today as, “My daddy was on top of my mama hugging her trying to protect her. The coroner had to pull them apart.”
Grandson of the couple, John Savage, who was present in the house during terrible event shared that he found them shaken in their room with their dog, Angel, around 4 a.m.
An hour later, John heard the biggest bang he ever heard, and the tree fell over their house. The door was blocked with the blow. Sadly, when John was able to reach into the room, he found his grandparents lifeless bodies.
“When they pulled them out of there, my grandpa apparently heard the tree snap beforehand and rolled over to try and protect my grandmother,” grieving grandson shared.
“They loved each other to their dying day.”
May the old couple rest in peace.
