Tillim left behind his wife, son, dogs, and many friends
Randy Tillim’s wife, Ana Maria Terrasa-Tillim, goes by Mrs. Savage or Lady Savage. She draws her heritage from Spain and Uruguay. Mrs. Savage previously worked as a chef for her cakes and pantry business known as Ana’s Cakes before becoming an instructional assistant at a public school.
She learned her craft at the Culinary Institute of America. Ana shared Randy’s love for cars, with Porsche being her preferred manufacturer.
Randy and Ana spent two decades bonding over their love for the Beatles. They’d started collaborating on baking series dubbed Savage Sweets on Randy’s YouTube channel.
The pair raised a son and two Labradors – Tucker and Oscar – who Ann affectionately calls her ‘distinguished gentlemen.’ Ana has set her Instagram page to private, but her bio reveals everything you need to know about her.
