Avery Jo Saari, 8, of Apple Valley, MN, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, October 18, 2016. Avery was adored by her large extended family and many friends. She was a third grader at Glacier Hills Elementary where she loved going to school each day to see her friends and teachers. Avery loved being outside, going camping, playing with her sister, listening to music and being read stories. She was a typical little sister who laughed when others got in trouble, but lit up whenever her sissy was near. She never said a word, but spoke to everyone’s heart. She will be horribly missed. Avery was welcomed into heaven by her grandfather Charlie Saari and Great-Grandparents Saari, Wallace and Coauette. Avery is survived by her parents, Matthew and Jodi Saari and her sister Brenna; Grandparents James and Mary Jo Wallace of Euclid and Kathy Saari of Sartell, Godparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, and a large, loving extended family. Services will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday at Mary Mother of the Church in Burnsville, MN with visitation an hour before the mass.
