Amy Price Obituary
Amy Isaacson Price passed away Thursday, April 23, 2009, from a broken heart. The earlier loss of her son, Isaac, continued to take its toll and was eventually more than she could bear.
Amy brightened the life of anyone she met. Her zest for life in combination with her artistic talent, eye for style, and relish for the unusual delighted her family and friends. She loved her work at the Akron Summit County Public Library where she worked for 21 years. She especially enjoyed working with young people as the Teen Librarian. Her goal was to give them a greater appreciation for the beautiful things in life. Amy was a graduate of Ellet High School, The University of Akron, and Simmons College in Boston, where she earned a master's degree in library science. She was a a former Girl Scout and a lifetime member of the Tallmadge United Methodist Church where she taught Sunday school class. Amy was a daughter, sister, aunt, and dear friend, but most importantly, Amy wants to be remembered as Isaac's mother.
She was preceded in death by her son, Isaac Price Magoun. Amy is survived by her parents, Jack and Patricia (McIntire) Price; brothers and sisters-in-law, Jack L. and Pamela Price and William M. and Carole Price; special niece, Emily Robillard (Orion); special nephew, Jack M. Price; numerous cousins, relatives and friends.
Calling hours will be Sunday from 2 to 6 p.m. and Monday from 10 to 11 a.m. at Newcomer Funeral Home, 131 N. Canton Rd., Akron where funeral services will begin Monday at 11 a.m. with Pastor Barry French officiating. Interment will follow at Hillside Memorial Park.

Dear Price Family,
I was deeply saddened to hear the news of Amy. She was a beautiful, sensitive, and creative soul. I met her while she was attending the Akron U art department many years ago, and we socialized for years within a mutual group of friends.
I know she will be missed.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Price,
I am, of course, very sad to hear about Amy. I thought she was doing better from the last conversation I had with her. I am so sorry it came to this. I am glad she is out of pain though. I hope you are able to make sense of this, how I do not know. Rest assured Isaac's memory and now hers will live on at Munroe. Your family was very special to us. I am glad to have known you all.

For Amy - I never got to know you directly, but I know and love the people you have touched. They miss you terribly. Their sorrow, is my sorrow, and so you and I have been and are connected together forever. You have touched me by how you have uplifted the spirits of those I love, and their spirits have lifted me, so I want to say thank you. Your presence and creativity and love will be missed. This world will be the less for you leaving, and is the better because you having touched so many of us.

I wish so many things. That Amy didn't have to go. That I could see her again, run into her, seek her out, hear her laugh and smile at the sound. I wish I had gone to Nicaragua. My deepest sympathies to her friends and family and co-workers.

Dear Jack and Patricia, Jack L. and Pamela, Bill and Carole,
I am very sorry to hear about Amy, I can't even begin to imagine how you feel, and I have thought about you often since I heard. I've known Amy for about 35 years, and in a big way she's always been part of my life. Although sometimes years went by that I did not see her, she was always on my mind in some way and when we did meet, it was as if we had just seen eachother the day before. I am sure that that had a reason. Amy always brought sunshine in my life, sometimes in a very optimistic witty way, sometimes in a more sarcastic way, but always full of humor. She was a very "true to herself" woman, someone you just had to love. I know she tried very hard to cope with the loss of Isaac, and it saddens me that she did not succeed, because she absolutely tried to pull herself together and fight her way back into life, tried to be positive, take it day by day in the beginning, and later on made plans for the future, and did not want to give up. In the end however, her loss proved too big. I am so happy that I knew her, she gave a quality to my life, and I miss her so much.
The time to come will be a difficult one, losing your Isaac and now your Amy, must be devastating, and I want to wish you all the strength in the world. I am thinking of you, and will keep thinking of you in the future.
I love you
Helmar

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Price:
I am so fortunate that I got to know Amy, although it was the last year of Isaac's life. She attempted to be so positive and tried whatever she could to make him well again. There is nothing more powerful than a mother's love, and nothing more devastating than losing your child.
Please try to find peace knowing that Amy is exactly where she wants to be, and exactly what she wanted to be, "Isaac's mom". She's able to do that now, I truly believe it!
Amy and Isaac will always be remembered by their "Munroe Family".

Dear Amy's family,
I did not know Amy, but our son's met at Hartville Marketplace in 2005. 2 little boys with the same scar, same look and same tumor. Our little boys both became angels just a couple of months apart. I truly understand how much she missed her little boy and may you have peace in knowing that Amy is now with him, holding him in her arms once again. My heart grieves for all those she left behind.

I don't know what to say that has not already been said, particularly feeling so shocked & saddened, angry & helpless. I thought of Amy as a sister, rather than a cousin, because she was so close to my own sisters and our family. She was smart and articulate, creative, and had a keen observational wit that I particularly enjoyed. I looked forward to seeing her when I was back in Ohio on visits. Her loss, though still unbelievable, is deeply felt. My heart goes out to Aunt Pat & Uncle Jack, and to Bill & Jack, for yet another loved one taken from them --and to all of us that knew Amy and Isaac. My condolences.

I am very sorry to hear of your tragic loss. Amy will be missed by many for all
the kind, loving ways she gave of herself
for the benefit of others. She was an inspiration to all of us at the
library. She showed us how to treat everyone as a person of great potential
and not pre-judge them, or in other
words, how to make the world a better
place by seeing the divine in
everyone. May she rest in peace.

We at the Akron Workshop will sadly miss Amy's smiling face and her facinating reading. She would bring the characters to life and have everyone's undivided attention. Our Wednesdays will not the be the same.
God be with her family at this time. Find peace in knowing that she will remembered in the hearts of many

To all my freinds, The Price Family:
I was completely shocked in hearing of Amy's death. I still remember when we moved next to you in 1958. Although I was closer to Jack and Bill, through sports and Scouting, Amy was like a little sister to me. She will always be missed and my depest sympathy to everyone in the family

Amy had a kind gentleness, a warm smile, a creative style and wonderful sense of humor. She was a friend to all who came in contact with her. I was her friend in High School and even though we have lost contact over the years, I will always remember her with such great fondness.
She left her imprint on all our hearts. I was proud to have known her, proud to have called her "friend".

This is what Amy wrote in my high school yearbook. She was such a beautiful, creative soul. I pray she is at peace and she and Isaac are in the arms of Jesus. Her spirit and view of life will be with me all my days. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and all of us who loved her so.

Aunt Pat and Uncle Jack,
There are no words to describe how we are all feeling right now. I can't imagine your pain and grief but please know that there are so many around you two who love you and are praying for peace in your hearts right now. You told me last night that the one person who is truly happy right now is Isaac because he gets to be with his mommy. We can hold on to that thought, pray for strength and cherish the memories that we have.
Eric and I have said many times that when we grow up we want to be just like you. We love you two more than we will ever be able to tell you. Keeping you close in our hearts and our prayers.
Autumn, Eric, Lyndsey and Bradley
