Amber was born on November 7, 1991 in Burlington, WI. She was a shining light; her radiant smile would light up a room. She had an original and infectious laugh that would get you laughing with her.
Amber's greatest love was Bella, her American Bulldog. Bella was her fur baby. She would take Bella everywhere with her. Bella even has her own hoodies and coat so she doesn't get cold in winter.
Amber liked to be outside enjoying nature and being around the animals, flowers and plants. She liked to take cuttings off of plants so she could grow new ones. She would even take cuttings from her own plants. She enjoyed growing vegetables and herb gardens. Amber was a very creative and artistic person. She could do drawings, paintings and make candles and jewelry out of resin. She even created her own signature red-orange dye hair color.
Amber was a loving, caring,and fun aunt. Amber was a kind, loving, funny and generous person.

Dear Friends, there is nothing more out of order than a child dying long before they should. It brings such heartache, grief and disbelief. My heart aches with you all. Amber was my neighbor and such a fun person. She was so proud of her dog and when I went to visit Amber she didn’t hesitate to show off that dog. She also showed what an amazing toy box Bella had. Amber truly loved her dog and cared for her in such a sensitive way. She also willingly would come to my house to let my dogs out when I was out of town. (She even got along with my somewhat grumpy little black dog. Yes, she had a knack with animals and I so appreciated it. I never needed to worry if I left my dogs in Amber’s care.) I enjoyed seeing Amber’s Crafts, which she was willing to take time to show me it all. Wow, the creativity could’ve gone on forever and ever. All of the things she made were truly an expression of herself. It was great to see her have something that was just specifically hers, that she was in control of. I loved Amber‘s giggle, which she was quick to exhibit. And who wouldn’t want to join in with such laughter. In many ways she just took life as it rolls along day by day . She adored her “dad†Richard and her “mom†Glenette. They spent so many hours together teasing each other and enjoying their personalities. There are no words that express how dearly she will be missed. The impression she made on our hearts as she grew up from little to an adult woman will linger with us forever. Goodbye dear Amber will miss you forever.

She will always be remembered. Our gaming, hang out sessions, animal talks and crafting. Her laugh was contagious and I enjoyed her time. I hate that we haven't had much time together since covid and me moving, but enjoyed our playstation time we had together. Sorry I came down wrong Friday for the funeral and ended up having car issues so I couldn't make the trip this week too. I bet the service was amazing just like her!
