Amie SMITH Obituary

SMITH, Amie (Age 45) Amie Smith, a resident of Spokane, WA passed away on Wednesday, July 10, 2019 at the age of 45. She was the amazing mother to Sari (20), Katie (17), Boosie (Isabella) (15), bonus daughter Peggy (21), and bonus son Saige (23) and loving wife to Greg. She was predeceased by her father, Rob West ("Pap pap"), and survived by her mother Sandy West, her brother Tom West and a large, loving family. She was passionate about art and photography and created fantastic, heart felt photos for a growing cadre of Spokane locals. She was born and raised in Oregon, attended high school in Lake Oswego and later earned her BA in nursing at Linfield and Truman State School of Nursing. After focusing on bringing love and support to a growing family over the past 20 years, she returned to school and reinstated her RN license in 2017, where she found her calling as grade school nurse in Spokane. Her impact on the students and staff of Audubon Elementary was immeasurable. Her art lines the hallways, her office is filled with student art and her heart touched the lives of everyone there. Amie was compassionate, kind, loving and always full of smiles and laughs. We are grateful for having her in our lives, as she truly made the world a better place for all of us. She was an amazing human, who left us with her heart full of positive energy. She truly lived life with passion. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, August 3, 2019 at 2pm, at the Schulte Home, 6916 West Deno Rd., Spokane. Donations to support her family can be made at STCU to the Amie Smith Memorial Fund.

May her soul be forever remembered, for the rest of eternity and in the hands of Jesus and the Angels.

I feel so much sadness for her family, and children.

Much love,

To the Smith and West families, my deepest condolences for such a profound loss in Amie. Thank you for sharing such an amazing person with all of us who weren't her blood family. I'll never forget where I was when I heard the news. Though our interactions were less frequent after high school, she never missed an opportunity to reach out in messenger to applaud or provide support for something I've posted. It also made me happy to see her pursue her many passions. I loved and will miss the beautiful pictures she posted of her kids and the numerous families who entrusted her with family and senior pics. She was truly a light for many and even me during a couple of pretty significant moments in my life. When I couldn't see past my personal hurt and sadness she was right there with her nurturing heart to help me (and I'm sure numerous others) see the silver lining in the dark ominous clouds hanging overhead. It's funny how what appears to be a random act of kindness sticks with you. I choose to believe they weren't random but instead that she was an angel on high alert ready to leap into action when needed.

I use to love saying off the wall things just to make her laugh and blush. I'll never forget (my senior and her junior year of high school). After I had finally given up trying get her to say something sassy (sorry Mr. and Mrs. West). As I recall, she tapped me on my shoulder while I was at my locker with my girlfriend and belted out what clearly was a well rehearsed joke or line. I'm almost certain I fell to the floor laughing and even then she covered her mouth smiling and of course blushing. It makes me laugh today thinking about her competitive nature...and boy was she competitive. Me and so many others are so much better for having known and experienced her kindness, warmth and gentle nature.

Please know that my heart, thoughts and prayers are with you all during this impossibly difficult time. Praying for discernment and peace as you begin this new chapter of life minus one of our brightest stars
