It is with great sadness that the family of Amy Mary Kaufmann, 67, announces her passing at St. John Ascension Hospital on July 18, 2021. She left this Earth peacefully with her family by her side. Cause of death was kidney and liver failure and congestive heart failure. She was born the 30th of September, 1953, in Detroit, to the late Willard (Bill) A. Briggs and Helen Doering.
Amy will be lovingly remembered by her daughters, Katie (Walt Barnes) and Carrie (Paul Steffey) Kaufmann, her two grandsons, Wyatt (6) and Connor (4) Barnes, her sister Louise Gallagher (Mike), her brother Allan Briggs (Catherine) and nieces and nephews Ryan, Scott, Steve, and Kelly Gallagher and Ana and Nick Briggs.
Amy was an incredibly dedicated mother and loved spending time with her family and traveling to warmer weather. She was a very strong and independent woman, which was demonstrated throughout her life as well as in her admired fortitude during her illnesses this year. During this time, Carrie and Katie were able to spend a generous amount of time with her. For this, we will always be grateful.
Memorial visitation will take place at A.H. Peters Funeral Home in Grosse Pointe Woods on the 29th of July from 12:00-8:00pm with immediate family from 12-1:00pm. Scripture reading at 7pm. Additional visitation will take place from 9:00-11:00am on the 30th of July followed by an 11:00am service in the Chapel at A.H. Peters.
