Paul Jay Savage |
  Paul Jay Savage, 70 of Marion, fulfilled his purpose for living in Christ when he celebrated his Homecoming on Tuesday May 22, 2018 at his home.
Paul was born July 1, 1947 in Green Camp, the son of the late John and Donna Ruth (Barrett) Savage. He was raised in Green Camp, where he enjoyed life on the farm with his two brothers and his twin sister.
Paul attended the Green Camp Elementary and graduated from the Elgin High School, class of 1966. He then enlisted in the U.S. Air Force on September 12, 1967. He served his country in Syracuse, New York as an audio-visual specialist and as an aide to a general until Dec. 1, 1970.
Paul married his first wife Carol (Butz) on February 9, 1969 at the Green Camp Baptist Church and she died January 6, 2007. Following his military service, he and his family moved to Marion. He began his career with GTE and worked for them for 33 years until his retirement, he had worked briefly for the Fairborn Equipment Company following his retirement.
God called Paul, at a very young age, and from that time on, God was always first and sovereign in Paul’s life. He found purpose in sharing his love for the Lord and serving others in God’s name. Paul will be remembered for the strength of his calling to generously serve others and his ability to unconditionally love.
After a time of mourning, God brought Glena (Moss) Poland into his life, and they were married June 1, 2008. Both musicians, they shared their love of the Lord through music. Their ministry took the form of “Heaven Express” where they served in nursing homes, benefit concerts and evolved into Christian radio time for worship on WWGH radio.
Paul was a long-time member of the LaRue Baptist Church, and when they planted a new church in Marion, New City Fellowship, he and Glena were devoted members there. Paul had served both of those churches as a deacon.

I will always remember Paul and my life is ever changed. He was a light and his legacy will live on. The first time I met Paul was when he and Glenna was singing for a Haiti benefit. I knew then this man was special. Over the years our paths crossed. We were like minds and hearts and I had the great privilege of learning from Paul in service to his community and connecting communities. But Paul did not just serve others, he wanted to know you personally. That he did with Scott, myself, and Amanda. Paul also truly was a prayer warrior. Just a few weeks ago he prayed one of the most selfless prayers I ever heard and the lord will carry it out. Thank you Paul for investing in my life and the joy of knowing the love of Christ thru you. I will miss you and will shed tears but I know you will be smiling down on us as you see the work of the lord come to pass.

Glena, I am so sorry for your loss. You and Paul were so kind to my aunt, Ivamae Smith when she lived at Kiwanis Village, your friendship and love meant a great deal to her. As president of the board of directors of Kiwanis Village in LaRue, I observed how Paul stepped up to help the residents during our last flooding in moving items from their apartments and helping them to deal with that troubling time. He will be greatly missed by all.
