Amy Wallace Obituary
Troy - Amy June Wallace, 47, passed away peacefully, surrounded by family Wednesday, January 3, 2024 at St. Louis University Hospital.
Born March 20, 1976 in Wood River, she was the daughter of Donald Wallace of Godfrey and the late Tina (Cole) Wallace.
Surviving are her father; daughter, Raeleigh June Forester of Fairview Heights; brother, David James Wallace of Alton; and fiance', David Widger of Troy.
She had been employed as a server at the Pasta House Restaurant in Edwardsville where she was a customer favorite.
Amy was truly one of a kind. In life, she was a beautiful, resilient, hilarious, and fierce woman who loved, and was loved, deeply. Those that knew her well, knew that she was also one hell of a fighter and when anyone else would have broke, Amy would have stayed strong. As a mother, daughter, sister, fiancé, and friend, her absence leaves a profound void filled with echoes of her laughter and cherished memories. Amy will be missed terribly by those who experienced her depth of love.
A Celebration of Life Memorial Visitation will be held from 4-8 pm, Monday, January 8 at Marks Mortuary in Wood River.

She was a force of life. She gave life to a strong, capable, and smart daughter. I hope she felt the love from afar and finds eternal peace

To Amy's Family, Friends, and her fiancee' Dave, we extend our heartfelt sadness concerning the passing of Amy who we also knew for a short time through our son, Tony. She was indeed full of life and more, and we know that many will be missing her for a very long time. Our prayers will continue for all left behind as we prayed during her time in the ICU as well. Please know that we cared as deeply for Amy and enjoyed our relationship with her as many of you did as well. May God send us all the comfort and peace we seek at this very sad time. God bless and keep you one and all.
Blessings and Peace,
Pat and Risa Fail
