Amy Thorleifson Obituary

Amy Jaquelyn Thorleifson, 95, passed away peacefully on October 22, 2025. Beloved wife of Phill, who preceded her in death, mother of Sherri Parsons and Tracy Thorleifson, grandmother and great-grandmother to many, she was cherished by her family and friends. A former elementary school principal Amy loved traveling, reading murder mysteries, shopping at thrift stores, baking, and attending Village Theatre and other live performances. A devoted member of Edmonds Lutheran church, where she supported its Housing Hope project, she was also a strong supporter of public television and radio and the Salvation Army. Her light will continue to shine in the hearts of all who loved her.

Amy and I were elementary principals in Bellevue school district. We were in touch a few times after she joined us as downtown Edmonds condo owners.
My condolences to all of Amy's family.
