Amelia Mack Obituary
March 5, 2013 - December 25, 2021
Amelia Ann "Beautiful" Mack, 8, of Taylorsville, passed away Saturday, Dec. 25, 2021, in Charlottesville, Va.
Born March 5, 2013, she was the daughter of Michael Earl Mack and Shelley Killian Mack.
Amelia will be remembered for how beautiful her soul was inside and out; she was one of the most caring and loving people you have ever met. She was a shining 3rd grader at Bethlehem Elementary, who was known for her considerate and compassionate ways. She was always the first to welcome new classmates and take them under her wing. She was referred to as a little momma to her two younger brothers, who she adored. She was also the first to pick up any liter that she saw; but this is no surprise to her parents because of her love for all of God's creations. She showed her love through her devotion to animals and hoped to become a veterinarian one day. Amelia never met a stranger and was so full of life. She loved her time spent horseback riding at Little Valley Equestrian and dancing at Ann Freeman Dance Academy. Amelia was always helping others and putting them before herself; being able to donate her organs was the last act of love and selflessness that she could give to others.
Amelia was planning on collecting donations for her birthday to give to the Humane Society of Catawba County. To best honor Amelia, you may fulfill her birthday wishes by donating to the Humane Society of Catawba County in her honor by mail, 3224 20th Ave. SE, Hickory, NC 28602, www.catawbahumane.org/give.
In addition to her parents, those left to cherish her memory are her two brothers, Wyatt and Charlie, both of the home; grandparents, David and Neddy Mack of Dyke, Va., and Allen and Kathy Buchanan of Hickory; great-grandmother, Jean Killian Kaufman of Hickory; aunts and uncles, Dave Mack (Sharon) of Virginia, Joel Mack (Danielle) of New Jersey, Jonathon Killian of Hickory, Sarah Holloway (Brian) of North Carolina, and Misty Hunt (Adam) of Newton; 12 cousins, David Mack, Thomas Mack, Andrew Mack, Christopher Mack, Gavin Killian, Brianna Killian, Mason Holloway, Maxton Holloway, Macklon Holloway, D.J. Holloway, Mathew Wadlington and Gracie Killian.
She was met in heaven by her maternal grandfather, Terry Killian.
The family is planning a celebration of life for Amelia in March 2022, that will be held in North Carolina.

Shelley and Michael, no words can express the sorrow I feel for you and your family. She sounds like she touched a lot of lives even in her short life. We will never understand the plan that God has for us and our children and it's so difficult trying to figure out why he takes those we love away from us. I hope that God can bring you peace and comfort in the coming days and I will be praying hard for you all. Love you all very much.
