Fond cousin to Dennis, Richie, Ronnie and the late Ray. She will be remembered fondly by her many nieces and nephews. Amber was preceded in death by her mother, Charlotte Oleski. Amber was a strong willed, hard working woman who sacrificed much to provide for her children. Nothing meant more to her than her children and grandchildren, the love lessons she provided them will be with them forever.
