MORTON — Amy J. Lacy, 57, of Morton, passed away on Tuesday, October 29, 2019, surrounded by family.
Amy was born on August 25, 1962, in Peoria, to John C. "Jay" and Joann (Rhoades) Ackerman. She married John Lacy on November 15, 1986 in Morton. He preceded her in death on August 10, 2017.

Amy attended Illinois Central College and had worked for several years at First National Bank in Morton. Her greatest joys in life came from her family. She was a devoted mother to her children and their friends, hosting many Morton Hogs pancake breakfasts. In her spare time, she enjoyed nothing more than spending time at the family lake. She brought joy to all around her and always put others before herself.
