Amy Jarret Obituary
Amy N. Jarret, a flight attendant on United Airlines 175, loved to travel. But the 28-year-old Ms. Jarret also kept flying because it gave her the resources and free time to divide herself between Philadelphia, where her longtime boyfriend, Kyle Rusconi, lives and the home she shared with her father and two brothers in her native Rhode Island.
The men in Ms. Jarret's life marveled at her organizational skills. "When she was around, everything ran smoothly," said Marc Jarret, her brother.
"I told her she had to start thinking more about her own needs, but she liked taking care of others," said Mr. Rusconi, who met Ms. Jarret at the 1995 homecoming of their alma mater, Villanova University. She enjoyed slot machines and betting on racehorses, but fretted that she was spoiling herself if she was lured by a clothing sale.
"We assumed we would get married when it came time to have children," said Mr. Rusconi, who had recently completed a two- year job in Australia. "We just needed to be in the same place a little longer."
Profile published in THE NEW YORK TIMES on November 30, 2001.
Amy Nicole Jarret had decided to become a flight attendant only because the job market was bad when she graduated from Villanova University in 1994 and she had just happened to encounter a recruiter from a major American airline on campus there.
Jarret was a flight attendant on United Flight 175 that slammed into one of the twin towers of the World Trade Center.
Her father, Aram Jarret, said his daughter was hopelessly in love with her college boyfriend and that a glittering diamond engagement ring seemed only months away. She was a rabid Notre Dame football fan who would call her dad in tears if the Fighting Irish were losing at halftime.
"She was wonderful," Aram Jarret said.

Happy Birthday Amy!
Who stays young forever
Today would be your 52nd birthday, but you will always be 28 years old. With your death, you became immortal. I don't know why or how, but you touched my life in the last few weeks. Although we didn’t know each other, I think of you often.
God bless you dear Amy!

So close and yet so far
It rained heavily all day. An intangible feeling swirled in me as I stared out the window at the rain. I knew this feeling is unusual. Autumn has arrived. I looked at the calendar, which showed September 9th. It's like someone wants to message me, but I wonder who it could be. Meanwhile, I had only one song playing in my head all day, God Bless America, even though I'm not American. In the evening, looking at the sky, I saw a star that shone much brighter than any other. Then I realized she was texting me. It shows from afar that it has found me. This can't be a coincidence. We will meet one day. Many, many years, a huge distance, life and death separate us. But she still sees me.
I came across Amy's story just a few days ago, but immediately it was like we had always known each other, even though we had been separated by an ocean until that terrible day. I am now the same age as she was. Besides, our birthdays are one day apart.
As I read the stories about Amy and looked at the pictures of her, I saw an honest, pure-hearted, free-spirited, beautiful woman, who I hope to meet in another life.
As we approach the 23rd anniversary, I wish Amy's family and friends strength and endurance.
See you up there

Just a random day but I am thinking of you. I wish I got to know you and have you in my life. I hope you know you are remembered everyday and nobody has forgotten about you. We talk about you a lot and anytime I see a dragonfly I think you are visiting me and giving me a sign. Whenever I go past your memorial I say hi aunt Amy. Anytime I look for inspiration I think of you and I hope you know we love you. The stories I hear about you make it even harder and I hope you know your family will pass down your memory and legacy forever. Love you -Cade

I did not know Amy personally in high school, but I was very aware of how I felt when I was near her. Amy had an amazingly calming energy. I knew one thing: Amy was a very kind and loving person. I think all of us can only hope to leave our physical bodies and continue to inspire those left behind the way Amy has done the last 20 years. May God bless Amy's family and those who had the privilege to love her.

Dear Mrs. Jarret and her family,
I do not know you guys but my condolences go out. I was playing a video game where you have to guess where a place is and the place happened to land at the 9/11 museum and zoomed on into her name. I wasn't alive in 2001 so I can't imagine what ya'll are going through but I send my love to your family. :) Looking at these photo's Mrs. Jarret was a really pretty and lively woman and I hope you guys all still celebrate her life. She sounds like an amazing person tbh and if she was still physically with us I would have been glad to meet her. Lots of love,
Aria
If any of you need any help with her loss my Instagram is @aria_aint_it, you can DM me and I'd be happy to help. :) Thank you so much and my heart goes out to you.

Amy, you are missed.
When you and Kyle started dating, we became fast friends. I think of you often, and it is the funny things I miss the most. The way you pronounced chick-fil-a, the extra salt in the cookies...
You are in our hearts and memories, I hope we are all making you proud.

To all of Amy's family,
As another anniversary is here please know all of you are in mind and especially in heart.
As I have since 2002 I brought breakfast foods to my neighborhood Fire Station and as always included a card in which I tell them that this little act of appreciation is in memory of Amy and I ask that they take a moment to remember Amy and all of you.
I still remember the years I had Amy in class at Mount and her work with me as a class officer!
God 's peace.

Dear Amy,
My name is Amy Jarrett. I first learned of you several days after 911, when a friend called me and said he saw my name listed among the victims. I was saddened to learn of your tragedy. To this day, when I see names listed, I look for you. I wish I could have met you. I pray for your family to find some comfort. I would have written sooner, but just found this place. Until we meet someday...
Sincerely,
Amy E. Jarrett
