In all of which, she was a beloved co-worker.

Amy was a devoted mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, and cousin. Her family and friends will remember her for her fierce loyalty to those she cared for, witty sense of humor, and laugh. She was a shining light in the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing her. She had a deep love for capturing life's moments through photographs and videos, finding joy in preserving memories of the people and places she cherished.
