She leaves to mourn, her children: Bernadine (Martin Wiseman), Wade (Barbara Galway), Susan (James Overton), Bud (Michelle Purcell), Carol (David Spear), Will and Brenda; her grandchildren: Todd, Cory, Patricia, Gavin, Ann, Brent, Audrey, Amy, Lisa, Clyde, Jill, Jordan, Kate, Will, Jesse and Maddie; her great-grandchildren: Liam, Keiren, Emma, Sarah, Abigail, Nikala, Joshua, Benjamin, Noah and Jack. She also leaves to mourn a number of nieces, nephews, sisters/brothers-in-law, friends and extended family. Amy was predeceased by her husband, Clyde on August 30th, 1996; her granddaughter, Carla; and her daughter-in-law; Gloria. Amy loved her wonderful life which focused on her family, friends and hobbies, especially gardening. Her friendships lasted a lifetime. A true woman of Newfoundland, she respected hard work, from raising her seven children to picking berries, drying capelin and running a very successful business. She was a beautiful woman, inside and out. One of her main goals in raising her family was to ensure they pursued and received a good education. Later in life, she loved to spend her winters surrounded by friends from across NL in sunny Florida, where she loved a competitive game of cards, travel and the cultivation of more friends. All those who knew her well use a single word to describe her: ‘sweet’. She is now resting in peace and will be sadly missed by all. The family will be receiving family and friends from the Church of the Advent in Plum Point, Thursday, March 12th, 2009 and Friday, March 13th, where the funeral service will take place at 2:00 p.m., with the Rev. Kris Gosse officiating. Burial to follow at the church cemetery in Brig Bay. Funeral arrangements are entrusted to Parsons Funeral Home & Chapel, 63 North Main Street, Deer Lake.
