Amy was legitimately one of the funniest and brightest people I've encountered. While I only worked with her for two years at UAMS, I still kept in touch with Amy. We'd often make ridiculous jokes about movies or remember the fun times in residency. She had such a magnetic personality and would light up a room with her attitude. Amy was a truly selfless person, and I was so proud, but certainly not surprised, when I learned how active she was in her community Deepest condolences to her family and friends.

Amy was my first friend I made in our medical school class. I was lucky enough to happen to sit beside her on our first day of first year. We were fast friends because a he was such an easy person to be friends with - always happy and upbeat, always with a kind word to share. I hope you can find some comfort in knowing you raised a wonderful daughter that brightened everyone’s day around her. Although we grew apart after medical school, I have no doubt that she was a wonderful physician and remained a wonderful person and friend. She will be missed. My prayers are with all of you.

I consider myself fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Amy. She was kind, intelligent, hard working, and a ray of sunshine in the lab. I know she touched many lives and made a generous contribution to the excellent quality of medical care that we have in Northwest Arkansas. I pray for comfort and healing to all experiencing the pain of grief and loss associated with her absence, but take solace in knowing that she had a personal relationship with Christ, and has angels as co-workers today.

I had the good fortune to be medical school classmates with Amy and was in pathology residency with her. I always enjoyed her company with her calm demeanor and radiant smile. She was a well-respected pathologist, and I looked to her expertise when my father needed medical care. Sending love and light.

Amy and I were classmates and friends in medical school and reconnected as staff physicians at our local hospital in Fayetteville. I always enjoyed running into her in the hospital for the chance to chat and catch up. Amy was highly respected by the medical staff and hospital staff. She was remarkably kind and radiated a genuine gentle sweetness. Amy was also highly intelligent and dedicated to her patients and community. I have heard of and witnessed multiple examples of her professionalism and unwavering devotion to patient care. I pray the Phelps family can find peace in knowing of her positive impact on her friends, colleagues, and patients throughout the region. Phelps family - we share this loss with you as you grieve. Thank you for sharing her with us.

Mr. Lonnie, Mrs. Trudy, and Ashley,

My heart is broken for your family. Some of my most cherished childhood memories took place in your home. Ashley, you and Amy were my first friends. At 38, I still consider our friendships among the sweetest I’ve ever had.

We would walk the backyard trail, climb trees, play in the ditch, color, play Barbies, listen to Amy Grant, play piano, and swim for hours. I loved eating dinner around your kitchen table and sometimes attending your church at night. It was a magical time in our lives. Thank y’all for taking me into your home ALL the time so that I could know what it means to have a sisterhood kind of friendship. I wish I could express what it has meant to me.

Amy was smart, funny, kind, honest, and strong from the time she was a little girl. I am grateful that she was such a special part of my life, and I am greatly saddened by the news of her loss.

My husband, children, and I are praying for and will continue to pray for your family—for strength, for grace, for support, for answers, and for faith on the hardest of days. One day at a time, may you walk closer with the Lord and with one another.

Our condolences,
Christine (Collins) Watzlavik & family
