Amy Guess Obituary
Amy Oneita Guess, age 48, of Calhoun, GA, passed away on December 2, 2024. Born on November 26, 1976, she was the beloved daughter of Bobby Guess and the late Mary Ruth Pankey Guess, and the cherished sister of Kelly Guess and the late Michael Scott Guess.
Amy dedicated 26 years of her life to working in Commercial Sales at Shaw Industries, where she was a valued and respected member of the team. A proud graduate of Gordon Central High School’s Class of 1995, Amy was known for her caring spirit and unwavering commitment to her lifelong friends.
Amy was happiest when giving to others, always putting the needs of her loved ones above her own. She was the glue that held her family together, and her love for them knew no bounds. Her adventurous soul found peace in the great outdoors, where she enjoyed hiking and spending time with her loyal dog, Wally. Traveling was one of Amy's greatest joys, and she treasured every opportunity to explore new places.

Bobby Guess; her brother Kelly, stepchildren Lilly Castoe, Grey Castoe, and Mae Pearl Castoe, as well as her nieces and nephews: Brandie Guess, Cody Guess, Gavin Pack, Zach Guess, and Kaitlin Guess. She is also survived by her great-nieces and great-nephews: Braylon Guess, Allie Guess, Estelle Stanley, Winnie Pack, Jude Pack, and Samuel Guess.
