Amber was born on October 26, 1981 in Middletown , CT. She grew up in Madison and was a graduate of Daniel Hand High School. Amber worked most of her life in the customer service industry in which her respect, empathy, patience and attentiveness with people were highly valued.
Amber was a kindhearted, caring, selfless person. Her journey in life gave her an understanding of the hardship and struggles of others and she would do anything for anyone who needed her help. She was often described as being a “bright light” and was genuinely beautiful inside and out.
In addition to her parents, Amber is survived by the love of her life, her son Jason Kjos of Westbrook; much loved siblings Gina, Julia, and Scott Testori and stepfather Jay Testori of Madison; her paternal grandmother Margaret Neal and stepmother, Mariska Weigelt of Clinton as well as many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews and friends who loved her dearly.
She was predeceased by her maternal grandparents, John and Elizabeth Schoen, her paternal grandfather David Neal, her aunt, Janet Neal and her cousin Jolene White.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to “Demand Zero”, a wonderful organization that we know Amber would have been very supportive of and grateful if even just one person could be helped through her. You can find information on their website, demandzero.org .
“She concealed her tears but shared her smiles.”
Service information will be forthcoming.
