Well when she came to the cafeteria we always shared a laugh. When I would go to jcp we always had a laugh and argument over the coupons! She was so kind and loved by my father in law Hugh at St. Paul’s . What a special kind person to be gone so young. Sympathy to her entire family. I will sure miss the laughs and kindness.
You have my deepest sympathies. Amy was one of my favorite co-workers. I really enjoyed working with her.

Amy was a great person! I had the privilege of working with her at JCP. She was a hard worker but always had time for a laugh. To her family-you are all she talked about. Her love for you was unconditional! May she rest in peace. She will be greatly missed!
My deepest sympathy to the entire Thurber and Doeberiener family. Amy was truly a wonderful person that loved her family dearly. I always enjoyed our discussions at Jamestown as she updated me on everyone’s life. She will be truly missed. God Bless you Amy.
My deepest sympathies and sincerest condolences to you and your family, Christina. I pray for peace and healing for all during this most difficult time.
I worked with Amy at Penney’s. Already, I miss her and our “crab fests” about retail life. We would just see each other and immediately start to complain. And then we would talk about our families and that would cheer us up. Weekends at Penney’s will not be the same. I am so very sorry.
I never met Amy, only Christina. I see the reflection of her goodness and the legacy she left in her. I am deeply sorry for your loss. May the Holy Spirit bring comfort and peace beyond your understanding.
Rest In Peace Amy- a joy to work with, always had a kind word and smile.
