All About Savannah Guthrie's Mom Nancy and Her Family ...Saudi Arabia

Savannah Guthrie's mom Nancy Guthrie is, the TODAY anchor says, "a mother like no other."

"My mom Nancy is my heart and my everything and my model for what a mother should be," Savannah wrote in a heartfelt birthday tribute to her mother on Jan. 27, 2020.

Nancy went missing over the weekend and was last seen outside of her home on Saturday, Jan. 31, 2026.

The 84-year-old matriarch is reportedly in poor health and has mobility issues, and authorities announced on Monday, Feb. 2, 2026, that they were treating the disappearance as a "crime."

Savannah missed the Monday broadcast of TODAY and said in a statement, "On behalf of our family, I want to thank everyone for the thoughts, prayers and messages of support. Right now, our focus remains on the safe return of our dear mom. We thank law enforcement for their hard work on this case and encourage anyone with information to contact the Pima County Sheriff’s Department at 520-351-4900.”

All About Savannah Guthrie's Mom

Who is Savannah Guthrie's mom?

Savannah Guthrie's mother is Nancy Guthrie.

“She’s lived a life of integrity and loyalty. She is a consistent doer of the right thing and the hard thing,” gushed on TODAY in January 2022. “She’s a truth teller, whether you really want to hear the truth or not. She’s quick and she’s smart, she’s well-read, she’s curious about everything.”

Savannah also said her mother, who was a stay-at-home mom, is "selfless," and that trait played a huge role in Savannah's success as a broadcast journalist.

"My father died when I was entering my senior year in high school. I then lived at home all through college," she said. "We didn't have money to afford the dorm. And that was thing one, but the other was that my sister and I really felt like we should stick with my mom and not leave her alone."

When Savannah was 21 years old, she got a job offer at a small newsroom in Butte, Montana, at the NBC affiliate KTVM. She said her mother encouraged her to accept it and chase her dream instead of staying home with her.

"When I moved to Butte, Montana, this was it, and it was really hard for me to leave her," Savannah recalled. "And that's when she said, 'If you can't leave me, then I didn't do my job right, Savannah,'" Savannah said of her mom's unselfish stance. "She just gave me permission to go, you know? She could have held onto me. It wouldn't have taken very much. If she said, 'Well, you know, Savannah maybe you could find something a little closer to home...'"

She added, "It's not because she didn't want me to stay. Of course she wanted me to stay! But she's like, 'I'm not going to stand in the way of your dreams. I'm going to tell you, go go go go go.'"

In a tribute to Nancy also in 2022, Savannah said on TODAY, "She has met unthinkable challenges in her life with grit, without self-pity, with determination, and always, always with unshakeable faith. She loves us, her family, fiercely, and her selflessness and sacrifice for us, her steadfastness and her unmovable confidence is the reason any of us grew up to do anything."

"She's daring and adventurous," Savannah added. "She's willing to jet off anywhere, and I really do mean jet—she once got in an F-16 in Fort Wright."

Similarly, on Mother's Day 2024, she wrote that Nancy was "God's first, best and most important gift to me."

Nancy is also the aunt to Jimmy Eat World frontman Jim Adkins' wife, Amy.

Adkins wrote (via AZCentral), "My wife’s aunt from the Tucson area is missing. Please come forward if you have any information."

All About Savannah Guthrie's Family

Who is Savannah Guthrie's father?

Savannah Guthrie's father was Charles Guthrie. Little is known about him beyond what Savannah herself has shared.

She previously described him in an essay for TODAY as "always strong, sometimes terrifying, loyal to the end, and disarmingly gentle and tender when it counted."

"People adored him and gravitated towards him. But for all these wonderful and magnetic traits, the one I remain most grateful for is his integrity," she added. "He had an unbending notion of right and wrong. His moral clarity was demanding and sometimes intimidating, but he tempered it, at the moment you most needed and least expected it, with kindness and mercy."

Charles Guthrie died of a heart attack when he was 49 years old. Savannah was 16 years old at the time.

She told PEOPLE that her father "spent so much time with us and he took us so seriously," making it hard to adjust to life without him.

"The loss of my father was shocking and devastating. It cracked open our family and crushed us," she said. "He was our center. We just idealized him and adored him. He was larger than life, and funny, and charming, and adorable. His loss was so sudden and so shocking."

She previously said on Brooke Shields'What Now? podcast that the grief from losing her father largely shaped her as a person and influenced her career choices.

“I know it changed me and probably changed the whole trajectory of my life,” she said. “I often think that I would have been totally different if my father had lived. I just don’t know that I would have chosen this career. I don’t know if I would have left home. I might’ve stayed in my hometown. I don’t know what I would have done, but I know fundamentally it changed everything. And some things it changed for the better, in the sense of, I know that my heart is more tender because of it.”

“I think it changes everything. I always think of it as on our calendars we have B.C. and A.D. There’s a before and after," she explained. "It’s just this stark dividing line. There’s before my dad died and there’s after, and it’s profound. Grief is a lifelong process. I really believe that. There’s acute grief.”
