Nancy Joan Saviola (Rizzo) was born on April 14, 1919, in Melrose Park, and passed away on her 101st birthday on April 14, 2020. She was married to her childhood sweetheart, David Donald Saviola, Sr. for 65 years. Wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Nancy was the quintessential homemaker, an excellent cook, and caring friend to all. She had a beautiful voice and could be heard singing all day. A diehard Cubs fan, she often took the senior citizen bus to see “her” Cubbies play and lived 100 years to see them win the World Series. Nancy leaves behind her daughter Nancy (Saviola) Kies, a son, Michael (Debra), and a son, Daniel; 15 grandchildren and many great- and great-great grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her husband David Sr. and two sons David, Jr. and John. She is survived by one sister, Estelle (Rizzo) VonBrimer, and many nieces and nephews. There will be a private burial with a memorial mass to be announced at a later date.
