Wynell, daughter of the late Lonie and Lucy Gainey was born on May 6, 1938. She was preceded in death by her husband Cecil Savage.
Wynell was devoted to her four girls, six grandchildren, and 12 great-grandchildren. Her happiest times were the frequent visits by family and friends at her home in Geneva, and later in Marianna, FL and Winter Garden, FL. They were guaranteed to have their favorite meal prepared by GiGi.
She also loved her extended family and spent as much time with them as she could.
We are truly blessed for all of the times she devoted to her family. Wynell was a wonderful loving mother, a powerful prayer warrior, and the epitome of the best wife to her sweetheart, Cecil.
Wynell is survived by her daughters Cheryl Maher (Joe) of Phoenix, AZ, Tina Bigham of Winter Garden, FL, Cindy Payne (Kevin) of Athens, GA, and Tami Jordan (Joel) of Marianna, FL, and her brother Wayne Gainey (Jan) of Calera, AL.
She is also survived by her grandchildren Wade Woodruff (Sarah), Rob Chancy (Cara), Andy Bigham (Erica), Caroline Hodkinson (Peter), Todd Bigham and Cecilia Chancy (Brandon), and many special cousins. Her most precious survivors are her twelve great-grandchildren.
Wynell’s life was a testament to the enduring power of family and faith.
