Amy French Obituary
Amy Denise French, age 49, passed away on October 15, 2025.
Amy loved her family more than anything in this world. She deeply adored her son, cherished her grandbabies, and held a special place in her heart for her nieces and nephews.
Amy’s faith was the foundation of her life. She loved the Lord and was proud to be a Christian woman. With a smile and a laugh, she often described herself as “Bapticostal,” having grown up in both the Baptist and Pentecostal churches.
Those who knew Amy will remember her as a strong warrior with an unshakable spirit. She had a big heart and a fierce will to make it through anything life brought her way. Her strength, faith, and love will forever live on in the hearts of those she touched.
A Private Celebration of Life is planned for a later date.
