Amy Jane Kassner

Chandler - Amy Jane Hogan Kassner passed away peacefully at the age of 67 holding hands with her beloved husband Rick on Saturday August 2nd, 2025.

Amy was always smiling, so gentle and kind, smart as a whip, beautiful inside and out, had the heart of a lion, giving, always sending cards on special occasions, and she had a spirituality that was real and true. Her marriage to Rick was sacred and their love affair for 38 years was exceptional and rare. They shared passions for music, travel, fine dining, and welcoming dear friends at their well-attended Pink Flamingo Parties every Fall.

Amy grew up in Sevierville TN where she was a real UNDERACHIVER!! (Kidding - she was a TRUE ROLE MODEL & "Sister" to SO many in her orbit.) Amy was active on the local swim team slaying the breaststroke at every chance, she was a baton twirler with snazzy sequin outfits, a cheerleader, an oboe player in the band, and a master at the piano. Brilliant, Amy was named the Valedictorian of her class at Sevier County High School in East Tennessee.

Amy graduated from Tennessee Tech in Cookeville TN with a BS in Engineering Science & Mechanics. She was also a member of the Kappa Delta sorority and the Theta Tau Engineering Fraternity.

Amy's first job was with Motorola in Manufacturing Engineering. She was then promoted to Quality Assurance. She was with Motorola for over 20 years. Amy then joined General Dynamics Mission Systems, where she worked for over 13 years. Her last position before retirement was with Honeywell Aerospace Technologies where she was Customer Quality Senior Manager.

Amy is survived by her beloved husband Rick, and her stepchildren Kevin Kassner and Michelle Young, step son-in-law Jimmy, and her two step grandchildren Justin Andrew and Nathan James, who gave her immense joy. She is also survived by her nephew Jeremy Hogan, his wife Danielle, grandnephews Noah and Benjamin, and niece Maggie Hogan Campbell, husband Chrisser, and grandniece Emmeline Jean, and Grandnephew Christopher Boyd.

Amy was preceded in death by her mother Beverly, her father Charlie, (Amy was the apple of his eye), her brothers Bob and Tom.

Amy's wish was to be cremated. A celebration of life will take place at their home in mid-October with the Pink Flamingo theme. Celebration begins at 4:00 pm. RSVP is required. Please contact Rick Kassner for more information. rkassner@cox.net
