Amy Royal Obituary
She was born on March 5, 1961, in Seaford, Delaware, to the late John W. Royal and Gertrude Royal. Amy was a graduate of Seaford High School and Delaware Technical Community College.
Amy dedicated much of her life to animal rescue, with a special love for cats. She was deeply involved in rescue, care, and adoption efforts and was a partner in the Sussex County Animal Association. Her compassion, patience, and unwavering commitment to animals in need touched countless lives-both human and feline.
She is survived by her sister, Roxanne Royal; her brother, Jack Royal and his wife Barbara; her niece, Dr. Erin Royal, Erin's husband Jake Kee, and their daughter, Emma; her cousins, Jeanine Adshead and Karen Skorobatch; as well as countless longtime friends who loved her and will miss her dearly.
A funeral service will be held on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, at Woodland Community Church Inc., 5123 Woodland Church Road, Seaford, DE 19973, where family and friends may visit from 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM. Interment will follow the funeral service at Woodland United Methodist Church Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Sussex County Animal Association/Whimsical Animal Rescue P. O. Box 1697 Seaford, DE 19973, in honor of Amy's lifelong devotion to animal welfare.

Fagan will always be a part of my knowing Amy. He was originally "Bronx" and I adopted him in September of 2015. Life leads us down different paths and when those paths cross a road it sometimes gives us the best gifts. The 26th of Sept. 2015 I got a gorgeous kitty from a beautiful lady and her memory will always be close to my heart and soul. You just don't meet people like her every day so she will be cherished for my remaining years on this earth. Blessings to her family and all her friends who loved her and most of all to all the furry kids she helped throughout the years.

I am so sorry to hear of Amy´s passing. She has a wonderful soul and I know that she is sitting with all her kitties around the Rainbow Bridge. Amy, I´ll do my best to keep the other cat friends fed, warm and loved in our side of Oak Orchard. Rest in Peace Baxter.
