Amy Bryant Bledsoe-Gmaz, 60, of Atlanta, originally of Huntsville, AL, passed away peacefully in her home on Sunday, March 12, 2023. Amy was a beloved wife, sister, and friend to all those she met.

A graduate of Auburn University, Amy was a passionate sports fan who thoroughly enjoyed attending various sporting events and cheering on Auburn at every opportunity.

Amy was a longstanding member of Decatur First United Methodist Church where she enjoyed volunteering and fellowship with members. She supported and participated in many charitable causes, including No Kid Hungry and the Alzheimer's Association.

Known by many for her infectious personality, wittiness, and sense of humor, Amy's greatest joy was being a friend to many, and she thought of her friends as family. She had a unique way of making everything special. Amy was a gracious hostess who enjoyed entertaining her friends and family, and she loved decorating her home for all occasions. She was able to connect people and encourage selflessness amongst everyone she met. Amy was a strong, independent thinker and had an unrivaled vocabulary that would always put a smile on your face. Amy enjoyed travel and always looked forward to her annual Florida Panhandle beach trip. Amy also had a lifelong interest in cars which began from working on them as a child alongside her father.
