Her competitive spirit led her to the top of her school's team and she garnered her school's very first "student of the week" award.
Amy had an entrepreneurial spirit and enjoyed designing and making clothes. She had good success in this endeavor in that her hand-knit scarves were sold in women's retail stores such as Anthropologie. She also ran a successful catering business called, "Lagniappe", with her husband, Bud Ruby, prior to her cancer diagnosis.
Amy also spent much of her life working in restaurants in different capacities. In addition to waitressing, she managed large hotel restaurants and owned her own small lunch restaurant where she did all the cooking.
