Aimee was born the daughter of Robert William and Cherie Angela (Crane) Higgins on January 20, 1969 in Burlington, IA. She earned a full ride scholarship to the University of Northern Iowa for music (oboe) and graduated with a bachelor's degree in music in 1991. Later, Aimee attended University of Iowa for one year working towards her master's degree before moving to Des Moines. She attended the School at Mercy Heath Sciences to become an X-ray Technician and later became a board certified Ultrasound Technician. On September 20, 1997, Aimee married Adam J. Krug in Burlington, Iowa and they made their home in Urbandale. She was most recently employed with Iowa Lutheran Hospital in Des Moines. Aimee shined as a gifted oboe instructor. Her passion for teaching students was demonstrated by having several All-State qualifying students over the years.
Aimee was a cherished member of the Central Iowa Wind Ensemble, Bible Study Fellowship and Amazing Women Cancer Support Group. She was an avid tennis player and traveler. Aimee and Adam loved traveling all around the world and would often plan their next trip before getting home.
