Savannah Barish

Savvy entered our lives on August 31, 2005. From the beginning, she was a bright light which brought joy to everyone she met. As a child, she was full of intellect and curiosity. Her energy grew into a fun loving girl that danced and twirled everywhere she went. Those are the simple, yet, prolific qualities that helped to define her life and the legacy that she has left behind. It was her mission to make the world a better place. People were enriched by the guidance she gave. She gave comfort and companionship through her well-known late night conversations sometimes lasting until the early morning hours. She was known for her bright smile and sparkly eyes. Savvy never let life deter her nor did she let her death. She saved and comforted multiple lives from the donation of her organs and tissues. Savvy is helping to advance the development of spinal cord recovery from her spinal cord and brain tissue donations.

Savannah passed on November 17, 2022 and will be forever missed. Savvy is survived by her parents, Heather Barish, Chris & Bridget Dicciardello; her brother, Anthony Dicciardello; grandparents, Ron Barish, Joyce Ashley, Marion Splinter, Dick & Teri Dicciardello.
