Amy was a remarkable woman—a devoted wife grounded in her faith, a mother with a heart full of boundless love, and a grandmother who found great joy in spoiling those she cherished. She kept a spotless home, one where the door was always open and everyone was made to feel welcome. She served her church and community with unwavering dedication.

When Amy committed to something, she saw it through to the very end. She worked tirelessly to raise her family while building a successful career and earning her degree—an accomplishment that reflected her determination and strength.

Above all, Amy treasured time spent with family and friends. Whether it was 48 years of Card Club, long bike rides across Licking County, or relaxing by the pool or at the beach, those moments together were what she loved most.

In honor of her memory, and in lieu of Flowers, please consider donating to Tri-Village Christian Church.

A Celebration of Life will be announced in upcoming months.
