Amy Suzanne Hawk, 42, of Churubusco, completed her life journey and entered the presence of her caring Shepherd and Savior Jesus Christ on August 15, 2023, at her home. Amy's passion for songs about heaven and Jesus became a reality as she was carried gently to her heavenly home.
She was born on September 18, 1980, in Springfield, Illinois, to Rebecca and Ronald Hawk. Amy's gentle, patient spirit, sense of humor, infectious laughter, and peaceful countenance will be remembered by everyone whose life she touched.
Despite being born with cerebral palsy, Amy was an incredibly social individual and found great joy in family gatherings, church and school activities, holidays, vacations, camping, fireworks, and shopping. Over the last several years, her activity level decreased, but she delighted in the busyness of family life around her, especially that of her beloved nieces and nephews. Although never formally employed, Amy found her true calling in sharing love and a smile with everyone she met.
She is survived by her mother, Rebecca Hawk; her brother, Andrew (Adelphia) Hawk; her nieces and nephews, Ethan, Elizabeth, Elisea, Ezekiel, Eliana, and Eliya; and several aunts, uncles and cousins.
She was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Glen and Ruth Dillavou and her paternal grandparents, Melvin and Betty Hawk.
Calling for friends and family will be from 12 to 2:00 p.m. at Sheets and Childs Funeral Home, Churubusco Chapel, on Friday, August 18, 2023. A funeral service will take place at 2:00 p.m.
A graveside service will follow at the Eel River Cemetery, Churubusco.
Sheets & Childs Funeral Home has been entrusted with these arrangements.
