Amy Gilligan Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Our beloved daughter, Amy Rose Gilligan, will forever be remembered for her gentle heart, loving spirit, and devotion to her family.
Amy was a cherished daughter, a devoted mother to Leah and Lainey, a loving sister to Scott and Jesse, sister-in-law to Ashley, and a proud aunt to Jacob, Annistan, and Alivia.
As a mother, Amy's greatest joy was her girls. She was always soft-spoken with them, gave them lots of cuddles and hugs, and said they were the best thing that ever happened to her.
Amy loved spending time with family. She never ended a conversation without saying, "I love you." Whenever we said goodbye after family gatherings, she always hugged you and said, "I love you." Those words-and the love behind them-will remain with us always.
Amy is survived by her daughters, Leah and Lainey; her parents, Dan and Karen; her brothers, Scott and Jesse; her sister-in-law, Ashley; her nieces and nephew, along with many aunts, uncles, and dear friends who will miss her deeply.
Her love and warmth will live on in all who knew her.
