It was the type of Saturday evening that Nancy Guthrie treasured: dinner and game night at the home of her eldest daughter and son-in-law. They lived near each other in the unincorporated desert communities north of Tucson, Arizona, and Guthrie arrived by Uber just after 5:30 p.m. on Jan. 31. The family spent about four hours together before Guthrie was driven home by her son-in-law, who watched to ensure she made it safely inside, police said later.

Savannah, I was telling them how I called you the other week for you not to answer, so your voicemail would play, but you answered and just clapped over and over again like a seal," joked Jenna Bush Hager.

Savannah first told TODAY viewers she would be stepping away from the show to treat an issue with her voice on Dec. 19. "I have vocal nodules, and now I also have a polyp," she said. "It's not a big, big deal, but I am going to have a surgery real early in the new year and be off for a couple of weeks. So it's my last day for a little while."

Savannah Guthrie threw out the ceremonial first pitch at Citi Field during the July 6 Mets vs. Yankees game, sharing her emotions on Instagram with a "nerv-cited" statement.

My kids are so embarrassed of me right now, and do you know what I tell them? 'Loud moms build character.'
