Amy (meaning “beloved,”“dearly loved”), of Blue Ridge, Texas, passed away unexpectedly on August 21st in Rowlett, Texas, at the age of 44.
A generous and kind spirit, a giver in life and death, Amy was born July 31, 1972, in Dallas, Texas to Travis and Chris Wilson. She graduated from Blue Ridge High School in 1990. Amy began work at Bob Tomes Ford in 1993, and has worked in the business office for the past 23 years, currently as title clerk. Most of her time and energy was devoted to her children, Trey and Cassady. She worked hard and sacrificed to nurture and provide for them, to attend and participate in school functions and to enjoy life with her family. Amy loved animals of all kinds, movies especially starring Matthew McConaughey, and her Mama's homemade cheesecake. Amy always thought of others before herself, a quality evident in her decision to be a donor, bringing life-giving promise to numerous families.
