William J. Burke & Sons / Bussing & Cunniff Funeral Homes Obituary

Glens Falls, NY – On Monday, September 6, 2021, Amy Verrigni went to heaven to join her dear father. She was born in Saratoga Springs, NY on Mother’s day: May 11, 1975 to Joseph and Mary (Ant) Verrigni.


Amy attended Milton Terrace Grade School and graduated from Ballston Spa High School, class of 1993 where she was in the Honor Society. She graduated from The State University College at Oneonta and went on to receive her Master’s Degree from the College of St. Rose. Amy started work at Prospect School and then got a position as a special education teacher (specializing in English) at the Southern Adirondack B.O.C.E.S. in Hudson Falls, NY where she just celebrated 20 years. Amy loved her kids. She took her teaching as a great responsibility and desired to make a difference, which SHE DID!


Along with her loving Dad, Amy is predeceased by her maternal grandmother Mary Ant, her paternal grandmother Anna L. Verrigni, her dear aunt Linda Verrigni Larmon and Linda’s son Dustin Larmon.


Amy is survived by her mother Mary, her dear brother Jerry “Bud” (Jessica), her aunt Gigi Ziegelhofer (Tom), her uncle Butch (Marge), her uncle Michael (Tracy) Verrigni, and her heart and love Hemi (her golden retriever, Hemmingway). He meant the world to her.


At Amy’s request, a private funeral Mass will be held at St. Michael the Archangel at the convenience of the family.


Amy loved animals and if one wishes to make a memorial donation, please consider something that works toward saving animals- she had a great love to preserve elephants.

Not sure what to say?

She was a really great person. When my nephew drezden was born she gave me a candle that you burn every year until they turn 21 like each year had a line that you burn it to. And she bought me my first set of clippers for doing hair. She went above and beyond her calling as a teacher. And I've been looking for her the past few months just to reach out to her and tell her what life is like now. I reached out to a classmate of mine and she just told me. I love you miss verrigni.

Amy was my daughters teacher in 2010 at BOCES. She was the most caring and loving person. She went above and beyond to make sure my daughter Kellie Zellars passed her Regents in English. My daughter spoke very highly of her. It saddens both our hearts to hear of her passing. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family!

I´m so sorry for the families loss. Ms verrigni was such an amazing women. She was my English teacher at boces. She helped me so much. She taught me so much. If it wasn´t for her I never would of passed my regents or high school. She was always there for me. She knew me like the back of her hand and knew exactly what I needed. Her loss is a true heartbreaker. I remember her bringing her dog in to class and we knew that it was going to be a good day in class because hemi was there. We were all...

I had the pleasure of working with Amy and discussing curriculum for our English classes. Boy, did Amy know her stuff! She was a dedicated teacher and had such a calming demeanor. My deepest condolences to Amy's family and friends. She will be greatly missed. ~Monica Moran

Amy was a gift. She taught with kindness and caring. She never raised her voice and rarely had problems with her students. We have lost a precious teacher and friend.
