Amelia graduated from St. Joseph High School and went on to graduate from Bethel University. Amelia's life will be remembered by her deep and unwavering love for her family. She loved spending time with her devoted husband and her extended family. She loved and enjoyed spending summers at Diamond Lake with her parents, siblings and friends. She loved to travel, highlighted by her favorite trip, her honeymoon to Barbados. Siesta Key, Florida also had a special place in her heart. She had a wonderful sense of fashion and enjoyed spending time shopping. She doted on her husband, packing his lunches and sharing her love of food with him. She was a gracious and thoughtful host and loved having her family to her house for game nights. Amelia was a planner. Whether that was planning vacations for friends, dinners or bridal showers for her loved ones, she found great joy in making others feel loved. She reserved a special place in her heart for her two dogs, Jack and Jill.
Amelia will be remembered for her one eyebrow look (if you know, you know) and her sass. She had the wittiest, spunkiest and funniest comments, she was hilarious and kept us all laughing. Amelia was wise beyond her years. She was decisive, level headed and knew just what to say. She was supportive and loving. Her thoughtfulness, generosity and relentless determination in the face of hardship were true gifts that will never be forgotten.
