Amy Jo Turley Waugh's Obituary
Amy Jo Turley Waugh 1979 - 2016
Amy Jo Turley Waugh – Amy left this world by choices and actions that caused her life to end too soon. Her life was filled with love for others and a need to help. She always sought love and acceptance from others and many times those individuals did not value the gentle spirit of Amy. She was involved in many community projects such as Team Toni, PATH to the Cure and Beat the Bullies. Her greatest love was for her son, Kristopher. Her private demons were unknown to many who knew her. She has been fighting internal battles since the loss of her beloved Nannie Pauline. Her enemies were depression and drugs. Many times it was one step forward and two steps back. Her current life appeared that it was going to be a success story. We were wrong. She lost her battle. For those of you who knew Amy we have learned much about the good friend she was to so many with a loving heart and sweet spirit. These stories help us in celebrating her life versus the tragedy of her death. Amy Jo, we will always love you. – Amy Jo, 38, of Proctorville, Ohio passed away, Saturday, October 29, 2016. She was born November 13, 1979 in Huntington, WV, the daughter of Pam and John Turley. She attended Fairland High School and Lawrence County Vocational School. She was a certified Nursing Assistant. In addition to her parents, Amy is survived by one brother, Jay Turley; her beloved son, Kristopher; grandmother Myrtle Turley; grandfather Clarence Adkins; a multitude of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins. A celebration of Life will be conducted by receiving friends and family from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, November 4, 2016 at Hall Funeral Home and Crematory, Proctorville, Ohio. The family requests it to be a time of sharing the sweet spirit of Amy and a focus on her friendships and love versus the tragedy that took her too soon.
