A lifelong athlete, Tom was a starting midfielder of the championship-winning soccer teams at St. Louis University in 1959 and 1960-the first years soccer was recognized as an NCAA sport. He continued to play, coach, and referee soccer throughout his life. He also ran more than 40 Bix 7 races and completed several marathons. A dedicated rugby player with Quad Cities Rugby, he enjoyed traveling to Old Boys Rugby festivals around the world.

William "Wela" Savala

Funeral services and Mass of Christian Burial for William “Wela” or “Bill” Savala, 90, of Davenport will be held at 9 am on Thursday, December 4, 2025, at Sacred Heart Cathedral, Davenport. Burial will be in National Cemetery, Rock Island. Visitation will be 3-6 pm on Wednesday at Halligan-McCabe-DeVries Funeral Home, Davenport. In lieu of flowers memorials may be made to the church or Knights of Columbus.

Mr. Savala passed away Saturday, November 29, 2025, at MercyOne Genesis, Davenport.

Wela was born October 29, 1935, in Bettendorf, to Joseph and Felicitas (Carillo) Savala. He graduated from the former St. Ambrose Academy, where he excelled in athletics at football, basketball and baseball. After graduation he joined and served his country in the Army, proudly representing them in basketball as well.

Wela started working as a tool and die maker for John Deere Harvester Works in 1956 and retired in 1999.

One of Bill’s greatest joys in life was dancing with his beloved long-time companion, Shirley Kay. Together they shared more than 35 years of love, laughter, and steadfast companionship – a bond that brought light to both their lives until Shirley’s passing in 2015.

An avid golfer, Wela could be found on the course three times a week, always ready with a quick smile, a competitive spirit, and an appreciation for a well-struck shot. When he wasn’t golfing, he was often at the bowling alley, where he distinguished himself by rolling several perfect 300 games in the Knights of Columbus League, an accomplishment he was quietly proud of.

A loyal Iowa Hawkeye fan, he cheered faithfully through every season, celebrating the highs and taking the lows in stride. His commitment to service was equally steady. As an active 3rd Degree member of the Knights of Columbus, he devoted countless hours to their annual Tootsie Roll Fundraiser, working year after year to support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. His dedication reflected the generosity and kindness that defined him.

Survivors include his brother Alfred “Fred” (Eva) Savala of East Moline, and many nieces and nephews who fondly called him “Uncle Bill”.

Additionally, he was preceded in death by his parents, sisters Rebecca Castro, Lupe Segura, and Eloise Borgus, brothers Gabriel, Richard, Charles and Joseph Savala, and Sam Cordero.

Mary P. "Anny" Oswald

It is with deep sorrow and immense love that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mom and grandma Anny, who left this world on November 25, 2025. She was the heart of our family, the one who held everything together with strength and endless devotion.

Anny was born August 30, 1941 at St. Mary’s Headford Road, Galway, Ireland. In her younger years she also lived in Dublin and London. Anny worked for a time on Cunard Cruise Lines and was in Dunoon, Scotland for a friend’s wedding where she met and eventually married Richard in 1974. They moved several times during his Navy submarine service eventually retiring to Morris, Illinois. In 2011 they moved to Davenport, Iowa to be closer to their children and grandchildren.

Anny was a woman of remarkable resilience. No matter the challenge, she faced it with courage, teaching us by example what it means to be strong. She had a gift for caring for everyone around her—whether it was keeping the household running smoothly, offering advice based on her life’s experiences, or making sure no detail was ever overlooked. She truly took care of everything. Anny always said her job was to make sure we were ok…and went to school. She exceeded her expectations.

Her kitchen was her sanctuary, and cooking was her love language. From warm breakfasts to holiday feasts, she nourished us not only with food but with joy, laughter, and togetherness. Every dish carried her signature touch: a blend of tradition, creativity, and love that made family gatherings unforgettable. No one who came to mom’s house left hungry. Mom found joy in cooking for others and sharing the dishes of Ireland. Those cooking secrets go with her as no recipes were used.

Beyond her strength and her talents, Anny will be remembered for her unwavering love. She was our protector, our cheerleader, and our safe place. Her legacy lives on in the lessons she taught us, the traditions she passed down, and the love she instilled in our hearts. Her grandchildren, Preston and Maddie, were her light and joy these last 14 years.

Mom leaves behind Richard, her husband of 51 years, daughter, Rebecca, and her husband Dave, son, Richie and his wife Katie, and of course Preston and Maddie, who will carry her spirit forward in the way we live, love, and take care of one another. Though we ache with her absence, we know she’s still with us—in every meal we make, every challenge we face with courage, and every moment we choose love over fear.

Anny was preceded in death by her parents, Thomas and Ellen and her brother Noel. She is also survived by her brother Thomas (Julia) and sister Evelyn (Fintan) in addition to several nieces, nephews, friends, extended family and those she always carried in her heart.

Rest easy, Mom. You’ve taken care of us all your life. Now it’s our turn to carry your love with us, always.

Memorials can be made to Clarissa Cook Hospice House or Quad City Animal Welfare Center.

Doing hair wasn’t just a job to her, it was a joy. She spent 43 years behind the chair, and for 20 of those years proudly owned her salon, After Image. She loved nothing more than visiting with her clients, catching up on their lives, and making them feel special. Many of them became lifelong friends.

On September 26, 1981, she married Bradley Hambright, her high school sweetheart in Davenport. The two built a life full of laughter, love, and the kind of partnership everyone hopes for. Together they raised a family that meant absolutely everything to her. Her children and grandchildren were her world, and she rarely missed a chance to brag about them. She also adored her in-laws and counted them as true family; the love was mutual in every way.

At home, she created beauty in more ways than one. She loved working in her yard and flower gardens, always tending to something blooming. Decorating her home was another passion, every room had her touch. She enjoyed playing cards, golfing (proud founding member of the Duck Creek Dames), traveling, taking vacations, and sneaking away for the occasional casino trip just for fun.

Most of all, she will be remembered for her warmth, her easy laughter, her kindness, and the way she made everyone feel welcome. She gave so much of herself to the people she loved, and her absence leaves a space that can never be filled. Those who knew her were truly lucky, and her memory will be carried forward in all the lives she touched.
