Marcia and Jerry Savage are two of the more than 150 people killed because of the storm and its aftermath.
An elderly couple was found dead while still embracing one another after a tree fell on their South Carolina home during Hurricane Helene. Marcia and Jerry Savage were found deceased together in bed. Family members said they believed it was God’s plan to take them together, rather than one suffering without the other.
Condolences posted on social media remembered the couple as generous, kind and humble. A GoFundMe organized for their funeral expenses says they were survived by their son and daughter, along with four grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Katherine Savage said her grandparents, especially Marcia, always offered to help her with her own three sons and would see the boys almost every day. "I haven’t even told my boys yet because we don’t know how," she said.
