Amy Williams Obituary
Nashville, TN
Amy Williams, loving mother, sister and daughter, and friend to all died on Saturday, June 17, 2017. She was 41 and died too soon. In her time here, Amy loved more deeply and brightened more lives than most of us could do in twice the time. Most people will remember the way Amy always lit up a room when she walked in with her smile and how fiercely she loved her children. She exhibited pure love for all and everyone who knew her was touched by this grace. She was a radiant and unforgettable personality who loved to laugh, who loved people with ever open arms, who met struggle with an uncommon drive and strength. Amy left this world a better place.
Amy was born in Cullman, Alabama on July 5, 1975. She was the daughter of Phil and Patti Freeman. She was preceded in death by grandparents Jack and Helen Vogel and Chester Freeman. She is survived by her wonderful children Clay and Maggie Williams, her parents, her sister Meredith (Jeff) Middlebrooks, niece and nephew Eliza and Thomas, her grandmother Hilda Freeman, aunt and uncle Bill and Carolyn Peinhardt, cousins Clint Peinhardt, Lanie Williamson, and Rachel Dawsey.
Amy graduated from Birmingham-Southern College and received her Masters of Science degree in nursing from Vanderbilt University. She was employed for over 15 years with Tennessee Women's Care as a women's health nurse practitioner with Dr. Anne Blake, nurse Judy Gregory, and a huge family of loving co-workers. She also worked for a brief period as a nurse practitioner with the Tennessee Prison for Women and served as a nurse on a mission trip in 2013 with the Alabama Honduran Medical Network (AHMEN).
The family requests no flowers (allergies) and would like for memorial donations to go to Walden's Puddle Animal Rehabilitation Center at www.waldenspuddle.org, Camp McDowell at www.campmcdowell.com, or Thistle Farms at www.thistlefarms.org
A celebration of her life will be held in Nashville on Friday, June 23 at 11 am at Eastwood Christian Church at 1601 Eastland Avenue. A reception will follow—please think of stories about Amy to share at this gathering.

I had only met Amy one time as her patient. She made such an impression on me with her kindness and empathy to my painful problem at the time. She chatted about her children as she helped me. I was broken hearted about her death. My husband knew her too as he was a pharmaceutical rep. We travel to birmingham frequently and always talk about Amy as we go past Cullman. She was indeed special .

Amy was like a second mother to me throughout my childhood. Me and Maggie were best friends all through elementary school. She was a shining light in every room she walked in. I still think of her and miss her quite often.

One of the sweetest, kindest, people ever. And how she loved her children. Still breaks my heart

Four years later, Amy's heart and beauty still lives big in my heart and memory. Such a loving, compassionate woman.
I've truly not known anyone with such a big heart. I was thinking recently how she "collected" animals. Dogs, and even, if I remember correctly, a possum who would come visiting on her front porch. I think also about how unbelievably proud Amy would be (is) about Maggie and Clay. She adored them.
I still hope for and pray for the continued healing of their hearts, and those of her parents, Phil and Patti, and sister, Meredith, because I know the ache doesn't go completely away when a person this loving is torn from their family.
Amy still lives in our hearts and minds, in the lives of her children, and in the world she touched with her big love.
Amy, we miss you and wish we could see you now. Looking forward to and hoping we can again.
xoxo

This is a sad ending to the life of a beautiful person. Amy was a classmate in the nurse practitioner program at the Vanderbilt University School of Nursing. Every day she had a radiant smile as she entered Godchaux Hall or the Patricia Champion Frist Hall that opened during our tenure. I only learned today about her unexpected passing as I read the obituary section of the Vanderbilt University School of Nursing Alumni News, Vol. 3, Issue 1. Honestly, I was shocked to learn that a wonderful and loving classmate died in such a tragic manner while at the prime of her life. From what I have read, she will truly be missed by her patients and friends. And, I am sure her classmates will add to the memories and condolences as they learn about her passing. My sincere condolences to the family. God bless you.

I just called to schedule my annual exam and found out about Amy's passing. I was shocked and just can't believe it. I have been seeing Amy since she joined Dr. Blake. Like everyone has mentioned it was like you were going to visit a friend and catch up...not going for an exam. I am from Huntville Alabama and also went to Vanderbilt so we hit it off right away.
I alway took her a bag of Krispy Kreme donut holes and told her she could eat the holes cause they didn't have any calories :)
We truly lost a wonderful human being way too soon. Rest in peace Amy...your love and compassion will live on through Clay and Maggie!

My daughter was just asking me today about a good women's doctor to see, and I was shocked to learn Amy was gone. She was such a sweet, caring and beautiful person. I was a patient of hers for over 15 years. I moved recently and was going to drive 4 hours to keep her as my healthcare professional. My prayers for her children, family and friends. She will be greatly missed.

I am saddened and shocked this morning reading the letter of Amy's passing. She was such a beautiful person inside and out and I literally was just speaking about her yesterday...I was telling a co-worker how my NP had a way of making you spill your guts with just a simple smile and a "how have you been"? She had such a pure innocent soul and demeanor about her that was very rare! I will always remember her smile and the way she always brought a stillness to my soul...what an angel! You will be truely missed!!

I too just learned of precious Amy's passing from Dr. Blakes's office. I am beyond heart broken for her family. I agree with the other comments on here as she was ALWAYS a shining light to those around her. She, Dr.Blake and Judy got me through a rough pregnancy and other hard times. They were all like family. Rest In Peace sweet Amy. Your light will continue to shine in our hearts and memories.

As a lot of people, I am just finding out about this sad and tragic loss. I was a patient of Amy's for almost 15 years. She was a beautiful person, inside & out. Heartbroken just doesn't seem to put it into words. I hope her children find peace somehow. Prayers for all who had the priviledge of knowing and loving her.

I'm so saddened to here about Amy.I found out also today from a letter from Tennessee Women's Care.Amy and I were pregnant at the same time. I had a very hard pregnancy and was in the office what seemed like every week. She was beautiful inside and out. And was a very caring person. Praying for her children and her family.

Amy always made me laugh and her, Dr. Blake and Judy were always a joy to see every year and saw me through two Very hard pregnancies:) I remember when we had just got through all the surgeries my first baby had to have and I thought I might be pregnant again. I was trying to explain to Judy why I didn't think I was pregnant when I was put on hold and a very cheerful Amy picked up and asked me why I thought Judy was wrong!?! and I cried into the phone, "because it is horrible timing" Without missing a beat Amy said, "oh, in that case you don't even need to take a test, I can assure you-- you are pregnant!" and we just laughed and laughed about that!! She was a light to the world and so proud of her kids and just exuded happiness - so sad to hear the news and know Heaven has a super new Angel!

I learned the same way about Amy as many did, through a letter from Tennessee Women's Care that I received today. I saw her and Dr. Blake for years and she was always a beacon of pure joy. She was funny, passionate, beautiful, and she clearly loved her children and her job. I am just in tears over this. There are no words.

Amy was a kind, gifted nurse practitioner who made a difference in my life. As unusual as it sounds, I always looked forward to my annual appointments because she, Dr. Blake and Judy seemed more like family. They saw me through some tough times with unfailing optimism and huge hearts. Amy was an absolute angel. I will never forget her. Prayers to her family and especially those two children she was so proud of. I loved hearing about them as they grew! I will miss her dearly. Godspeed, Amy. May perpetual light shine upon you.

I found out, too, about Amy's passing inside a letter from Dr. Blake's office. What a shock! I found Amy through Dr. Karen Silien, who passed away in September of 2014.
Amy was so beautiful, and was a compassionate nurse.
If you're looking in, Amy, I know you're with God, and in an awesome place.
Why do the good die young?

I too just learned of Amy's passing today. She was a wonderful nurse. Ever visit she eased my anxiety and fears with a "girl, me too" or "I hear ya... I'm right there". Her compassion was overflowing. She always talked about her children too. She was so proud of them! My heart breaks for your loss.

There are no words to express the sadness I feel for the loss of Amy's life. I just found out that she had passed away today and I am heartbroken.
Amy was my nurse practitioner for 10 years. I started seeing her when I was 18, and just moved out on my own after aging out of the system. She was the first medical professional I saw as an adult and I loved her, even though I only saw her once a year. i went through a hard time in my early adulthood and attempted to take my life -- after a rough go with several med providers she ended up being the person to prescribe my anti depressent because she was the only kind medical professional I could find, even though she was not in the mental health field.
Several years later, I found myself at my annual appointment having a really bad day - that morning I had to take out an order of protection against my soon to be ex-husband. I was with her when I found out that it had been approved, and she was so supportive and exactly who I needed that morning. She knew my story and what a hard decision that was for me to finally make.
I just had my first child, Luke, and came in for my six week appointment 2 days before she passed. Although I wasn't there to see her, I was so excited to see her and show off my kiddo. She had seen me through so many life events and felt so grateful to have her know me through them. I only saw her once a year, but she made me feel like I meant something as a patient. The medical profession as a whole tends to make you feel like a number. Amy NEVER did that.
Sending my condolences to Amy's family, friends, and her TN Women's Care family. There are no words that can take away the pain, but please know that Amy meant something to so many of her patients.

I found out about Amy on July 5th which now I know would have been her birthday. There are just no words to express how utterly devastating it was to hear this tragic news. The moment that I became her patient several years ago, I knew at last I found someone who really would take her time and truly cared about your feelings and concerns. She inspired hope that any situation can be overcome. I will miss her so much.....

I only saw Amy once soon after having my second baby. I remember feeling a bit overwhelmed the day I went for my check up. She walked in the room with the hugest smile and right there I felt better. She was sweet, listened to me and made me feel like everything was going to be fine. She talked about her kids with so much love, even showed me their pictures. Thank you Amy for your big heart..I will remember you....

I did not know Amy personally but my daughter Heather Reed had just seen her 2 weeks ago for her appointment and is out of the country now and I informed her after I learned of her passing at my appointment today. Heather sends her prayers and thoughts to the family. She loved seeing Amy and will miss her smile and infectious personality.

I just heard the news today while making my appointment for my yearly exam. It is so hard to believe that Amy is no longer here on this earth. She made going to the doctor bearable! I will miss her sweet smile. She emanated a radiance that few people have. My prayers go out to her family and her sweet children. May you feel and experience God's peace and comfort.

I am sorry to hear about Amy's passing. I called the office this morning to make an appointment. I always asked for Amy. She always made her patients feel like they were the most important for the day. I am praying for her family. She would always ask about my children and would always share about her children. She had a great love for her children!!

Words cannot express my feelings of loss. I learned of Amy's passing this morning when I called to make an appointment with her. Although I only saw her once, maybe twice some years, she always made me feel that I was the most important patient of the day. We shared many conversations about love, family and life in general. She will truly be missed. My sincere condolences to the family.

I have known Amy for most of my 40 years of life. She was always kind and beautiful, inside and out. My most fun memory with Amy was one day when we were both high school aged and were at church. We gave each other a hug and then proceeded to talk about how great a "good" hug was to receive. We both loved a good, strong hug...that meant it was a "real" one, not a nice pat! I love you Amy. You always saw the silver lining in all situations. In this situation, the silver lining is that you are in heaven. You are sorely missed here, while we all wait with great hope to hug you again one day

To Amy's family and friends....My heart is broken with the loss of Amy. I am so very sorry for your tremendous loss. I met Amy when I was pregnant 4 years ago with my son,River. I remember thinking, on many occasions, how beautiful her smile was and how tender her heart was. It was apparent how much she loved her children and her family by the way she lit up when I asked about them. Also, I spoke with her about my anxiety issues and she always offered the kindest most gentle words that always helped soothe my soul. Amy was a shining star.... Still Is..my prayers and thoughts are with her beautiful children, family and friends.

The first moment I met Amy, I knew I was in the presence of an Angel. She had an impeccable way of making everyone feel like they were her biggest priority. I always have counted her as a friend, and truly one of the best people I have ever met. I had even saved her work number in my phone as "Amy's Number," as I knew the first person I needed to call with any questions or concerns.
The amazing light that was taken will live on in her kids and the countless memories that she shared through her love, generosity, kindness, and unmatched care.

My heart hurts about what happened to Amy. She was a bright light. She helped to take care of me during my last 3 pregnancies at Dr. Blake's office and a few years later with post care. She was always warm, giving and just beautiful. I just found out about her death today. My prayers of strength to Amy's family,her beautiful children,Dr. Blake, Judy, and her staff, and anyone else who is affected by this horrific tragedy that was so undeserved.

I am still in disbelief, I just saw Amy in the office about 2 weeks ago. She was there, present, so full of life. I can't believe she's gone now. She never treated me like a patient or a number, she always was a friend. Always asked about me, my family, my daughter. We talked about her life and her kids. She was kind, personal, loving and really got to know you on a very detailed level. Her smile was contagious, as many here have said. Heaven has gained another angel now, too early for our reasoning but God has his own time and reasoning. God bless you Amy, and peace be with your family in this trying time.

Like so many, Amy's impact will always remain constant in my life. She was the person who confirmed for me that I would be a mother, she shared with me the first time I heard my baby's heartbeat, she assured me I would be okay through bed rest, and promised me I wasn't a bad mother because I suffered with postpartum depression. She had a way of allowing me to be honest without fear of judgement. I learned of this senlessless loss today when I called her office and they told me they were closing early for her services. I remain in shock and disbelief. Though I don't know her family and you all don't know me - "your" Amy was also "my" Amy. I loved her and will miss her immensely - prayers for her children, family, work family, and all who smile when they think of hers.

I met Amy at my first prenatal appointment and saw her until I had my baby. As soon as I met her I just fell in love with her kind heart and nurturing spirit. She made you feel so special every time you saw her. I grew up without a mother and all I could think when I spoke with Amy was how I wished I had a mother like her and how wonderful a mother she must be. She was such a wonderful person and beamed with joy and kindness. She truly lit up the room when she walked in. I am praying for the family and friends of Amy. I am so sorry.

Every day I ask "why"? We are not supposed to ask, there is a bigger plan and though we are all part of this plan we wonder why good people are only in our life for a short time. I myself count myself amongst the fortunate that got to know and love you on a personal level by working with you for several years. Those long days that required you or I to make a pot of coffee to carry us through. You made the better coffee. You took the time in your busy schedule to learn exactly how I liked my coffee and would bring it to me. I could go on but there are so many people that could relate and share their moments. I do know that your incredible smile lives on in many, many people. Your unselfishness was felt by many. Your skills, love, and laughter and that "smile" you shared so freely. Never an unkind word from you and somehow you guided us closely through your assets that we might strive to be more like you. We thank "God" that he placed you with us in Dr. Altenberns office for several years and we got to know and love you. I will see you again one day my friend, till then you remain in my heart and deeply in my soul. Love, Susie

You were the first person to find my two-year-old's heartbeat when I was pregnant with him, and you were the one who confirmed my current pregnancy. I will always tie you to these milestones that have been such major events in my life. I'm glad to have seen you a week ago for my 28 week appointment, and your loss is incredibly profound. Much peace to your family and especially your children.

I am a patient of Dr. Blake's and saw Amy on a regular basis when I would come in for visits. She certainly did light up a room when she walked in to it! She would spend a good bit of time with me, asking about my family and how I was doing. She loved to talk about her kids. My heart cries out in pain and sorrow for Dr. Blake, Judy, and the rest of the staff. My prayers are with them, as well as all of Amy's family, friends, and patients. She meant so much to me. Her passing is keenly felt.

I type this in tears. As a patient of Dr Blake's and then Amy's for many years I know the loss the office must feel! Amy would always come get me and give me that beautiful smile of hers. It was like seeing an old friend! We would sit and talk and catch up on what was going on with my boys and tell me how Clay and Maggie were doing. As proud mothers we would share!! She was so proud of her kids and of where she came from (Alabama). I would tell her I couldn't pass the Cullman exit and not think of her. I don't understand why God allowed this to happen but I know his ways are perfect and Amy is living in eternity with Jesus! This world and Dr. Blake's office is a little less bright with her gone! I will be praying for her kids, family and work family as they adjust to this hole that she has left behind. Amy Williams you are going to be missed!!

My heart is absolutely broken with the news about losing my dear friend, Amy. She was dear to so many of us. I cannot imagine East Nashville without her. She made me feel so valued as a person, as a friend, and her love, huge compassionate heart, and kindness toward us "strays" in the world -- (including the furry ones) changed us. I don't know how we will all come to terms with her untimely departure, but I do know--and see on this website--that the love she gave each one of us is powerful and eternal. May we be reminded of her beautiful heart and fiercely loving spirit, and may this love, so obviously from God, eclipse the darkness of this loss. I love you, Amy, and I can't believe I have to say goodbye to you. Your friendship has blessed so many.

We all came through that experience with more humor, compassion, and understanding because Amy was among us, especially in the WHNP program; Dr. Freeman, she often entertained us with clinical pearls from you and I'll never forget her telling them. I feel so lucky we traveled the path together and am grateful for many memories, during and after school. She was one of 4 of us who studied and traveled for Boards in Memphis. I am so blinded by this tragedy that I have few words to connect except to say how very sorry I am for your loss. Her absence changes the world. Thank you for your gift of Amy to us. May God hold you close and lift you with Grace and peace.

I just can't seem to find the right words to express how absolutely devastated and saddened I feel at this news. Amy and I were in the same Master's program at VUSN, and teamed up during our final semester, working hand-in-hand on our final research project. Hours filled with angst that Amy was quick to relieve with laughter, all the while, demonstrating the patience and kindness we all came to know as Amy.
Amy was a dedicated Nurse Practitioner, genuine person and someone whom I am honored to have called my friend. The world has lost a bright light that we will have to look upwards to the night sky to reach from now on.
My deepest sympathy goes out to all of you - her family and loved ones. May you find some peace in knowing how many lives Amy truly touched with her beautiful presence and spirit.

So sorry. My mom and I were patients of Dr. Phil Freeman, before he retired. He was so proud to talk about Amy when she was expecting her little baby boy. My mom had me crochet an afghan for her with the baby's name, Clay Arden Williams on it. I still have a picture of the Afghan along with a very sweet "Thank You" card from Amy. My mom passed away in March of 2006.

I was patient of Amy. She had such a beautiful sole. I had know her for 15 years. We talked about our families and what we were up to. One time on my yearly visit. We put off the medical visit and played with make up and face creams that I brought Amy to try. We talked about that every time we saw each other. Always greated me with a hug and a big smile when I got to the office and when I left. I called her office to set up my next appointment today and the lady could not talk with me because she was crying. I could not figure out what was wrong. I am going to miss Amy. She was a beautiful lady on the outside but was twice as beautiful on the inside. I am still shaking my head. I am going to miss her very much. I am so sorry for your loss. Such a beautiful person. This world has loss someone very special. My thoughts and prayers are with her loved ones and especially her children. We talked so much about her children and how much she loved them. Love you Amy.
