A woman’s attempt to reconnect with the boy her mother died saving from drowning in the 1990s went viral after launching a heartfelt social media search for closure and understanding.
On July 24, 1993, Trudy King tragically lost her mother when she saved a young boy and attempted to save his sister from drowning.
Taking to the New Mexico Reddit community, a user who goes by “chickenfeathers1987” posted earlier this week that their friend’s mom, Anne Michelle Savidge — known as “Chelley,” had “saved the boy but died when she went back for the girl.”
