Savannah was born May 1, 1970 in Friendship, Wisconsin to Robert and Shirley Kirsenlohr Sr.

She graduated from A-F High School in 1988. While in high school she was active in band, dance and student council. Her love of student council allowed her to be active on the state level. Several years following high school she returned to lead camp workshops for incoming student council members through out the state. She enjoyed doing this, feeling she was giving back in allowing other young people to become tomorrow�s leaders. She attended U.W. Eau Claire and graduated in 1993 with a psychology major and a communications minor. A highlight of her college career was spending a semester in Crested Butte, Colorado teaching young people to ski. Her love of the outdoors allowed her to promote caring for the earth and leaving a legacy for the next generation.

Savannah worked as an AmeriCorps volunteer for two years in Eau Claire. During this time she worked with disadvantaged youth promoting their self esteem and providing opportunities they may never have had otherwise. As a student of life she was always searching for alternative ways to traditional health care. She became knowledgeable and practiced healing touch, massage therapy and eating of organic locally grown foods. She operated a business unfinished masterpiece which she shared her knowledge learned with others. Her spiritual journey included her learning of God and incorporated her beliefs, values and environment into her daily living. She worked as a personal care attendant for several elderly people. She took great pride in treating them as individuals and caring for more then their physical needs. She also served as Chaplain Assistant at Syverson Nursing Home in Eau Claire for two years. After being diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer she became a spokesperson for pancreatic cancer survivors. She wanted to spread the word to others how deadly and unfair this disease is. She kept track of her journey on her website, www.caringbridge.com (savannahrhae). She participated in two bike rides to raise money for research and gave radio interviews to get her message out. Savannah was a free spirit she touched many lives in ways that only she will know. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.

She was preceded in death by her father, Robert Kirsenlohr Sr., infant brother, Scott Kirsenlohr, and her grandparents.
