  1. Earl, Tyler, Ryan’s and Adam. I’m so deeply sorry to hear of Amy’s passing. I will cherish all of the fun times we had at the many many soccer tournaments and the endless hours at the concession stand, with us Laughing and giggling the entire time. Amy and your entire family were a huge part of my boys lives growing up. Thank you for sharing her … with the Ruffing family. ❤️❤️❤️❤️. Sending love and prayers.

  2. My son Charlie and I send our deepest condolences to your family. Mrs. Pannebaker was my son’s teacher in the 2019/2020 school year. She never gave up on him when so many others (including himself) had. She worked tirelessly with him after school & during the summer to make sure he didn’t fall further behind. It is because of her encouragement that he is where he is today. We are eternally grateful to her. My son will always remember her as the greatest teacher. And that she truly was!! Sending thoughts & prayers.

  3. I will miss Amy dearly. We became friends while teaching together at Allard School. We remained friends and stayed in contact after my retirement. She truly cared about each and every child that she encountered. Even though she continued to fight her own medical battles, her love for the children was always at the forefront! She just wanted to teach. Her love for her family was so strong – and always will be. I know that she will be in their hearts forever and she is (and always will be )smiling down on them. I will miss our summer lunches and communication through the years. The world has lost a wonderful person. However, Heaven has found another loving angel. May you rest in Peace.

  6. Amy and I became fast friends when we were 6 years old and her family moved to my street. We went to school together for 18 years. We had slumber parties and walked to school everyday. We ate lunch together, went to the Prom together with our dates. We talked on the phone when we went to different colleges. When we were both newly married and became moms we shared stories. Both of our 1st born’s are named Tyler. I stayed at her house when I came into town for our high school reunion. We exchanged Christmas cards every year.
    Tyler, Ryan and Adam please know that Amy’s greatest joy was being your mom. All of my love and prayers go out to you and Earl. You’re mom was an amazing lady and a wonderful friend! She will be truly missed. May you Rest In Peace my dear sweet friend. ♥️

    While we are deep in sadness at this loss, we are grateful to have been in her company at all. To have known her is a gift.

    Her love for her boys & Earl was immeasurable.
    But no matter the role she was at any given moment, she did it with wisdom, love and wit.

    She was grace, and she was grit.

    She was simply the best.
