Barbara Ruth Savage "WaWa", age 73 of Nashville, passed away September 20, 2025. She was a loving mother figure to many, many nieces and nephews who she loved very much. Barbara loved everything related to nature. She loved flowers and plants, and loved to garden. Barbara enjoyed being outdoors and watching and listening to the birds. Above everything else, Barbara loved her family so much and was always the fun aunt. She never met a stranger and would have given her last penny to a complete stranger.
