Amy attended high school in Sioux Falls, SD, and went on to college at Augusta. She also earned a degree at Sitting Bull College and went on to get her Bachelor's at University of Mary, then she completed her Masters in Social Work at University of ND. Being a very kind and compassionate person, Amy held positions that gave her the opportunity to help people with addiction issues and with suicide prevention. Amy started out as an AmeriCorps worker as a GED Academic Coach with Sitting Bull College. She also worked as a counselor for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Chemical Prevention program, Indian Health Service Aberdeen Area Youth Treatment, and the Bear Butte Program.
Amy had dealt with many health issues over the years. Through it all she maintained a positive attitude and had a smile for everyone she met. She will be missed and will always be in our hearts.
She is survived by her two children, John Anthony Morse Jr.(John Morse Sr.) McLaughlin, SD, April (Babe)Taylor, Morris, MN, husband (Donald Yellow Sr) and two step-sons Michael D Yellow and Don Yellow Jr. Her grandchildren Mace Yellow, Kendra (Dustin)Braaten, Colton Morse and Carlton Morse. Her siblings Gerald Birk, Sturgis, SD, Lola (Richard) Agard, Selfridge, ND, Timothy Birk, Bismarck, ND, and all her beloved nieces and nephews, and many good friends and her kitties, Annie and Iggy.

at about 7yoa we had a 1940 3 window ford coup, My sister Amyjo and I would be going somewhere with our dad and every time we made a left hand turn she would fall out of the car, but she was never hurt. After about 3 incidents she wasn't allowed to sit by a car door again!!!
Amy was my older sister, friend and mentor, she will be missed.
Amyjo, hope you had a good journey, we'll see you on the other side.

My first memory was way back in the late 1960's and she moved into our house in Sioux Falls so that she could attend college, we got along great we were cousins that only saw each other once a year and now we got to hang out she was always so happy and easy going, I have her memory till I'm gone and it was a great one. Miss you
