She was a 1989 graduate of Panther Valley High School and then went on to graduate in 1993 from Alvernia College, where she received her bachelor's degree in business and marketing.

Amy was my Dear and sweet friend for 30 years. We called each other sisters. Mary Ellen & Lexi, there are no words that I can say that would truly bring comfort to your heart. It has been over 2 months since Amy's passing and I am still heartbroken. She was a beautiful young lady and a beautiful soul. I will never forget her. She will always be "my little Sissy." May God comfort you with his peace. Sending my love and my deepest condolences.

Animals need all the friends they can get and Amy Valentine was certainly one of them as her many loved dogs and cats could testify. It is awful to hear of this tragedy. Everyone at PETA thanks her daughter, Alexi, for looking after animals who were never lucky enough to feel the love of a family through tributes to her mother's memory. We send our condolences and wishes of strength to her, to Amy's mother, aunts and uncles and all who knew and cared about her. Ingrid Newkirk, president, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
