She was heavily involved in the Cleveland fencing community and helped her best friend Brian Stone found Two Ravens Fencing School where she ran marketing, administration and coached epee.

She worked as office manager at Near West Theatre and helped them move into their new theater space.

Amy loved camping and hiking and was proposed to by Chris on a canoe trip through Quetico Provincial Park. Chris and Amy were wed in 2018. Amy loved gardening and could often be found with dirt under her nails in her big straw hat.

She loved music, her friends and couch time with her husband and two grey cats Faye and Morwen.

We will miss her infectious laugh, beautiful smile and generous, caring nature.
