She served as an elementary school teacher at Seabrook Elementary, an Assistant Principal at Laurel Elementary and a Principal at Langley Park-McCormick Elementary. With her warm smile and loving heart, she touched the lives of students, teachers and staff members. She was honored by the Board of Education with a Certificate of Recognition as a 2012 Washington Post Distinguished Educational Leadership Award Nominee. She led numerous projects to advance the school community, such as renovating the library, purchasing new playground equipment, creating a cafeteria mural and planting a community butterfly garden. Amy was a member of the Ladies of Charity at St. Mary's of the Mill in Laurel, Md. She returned home to Greensboro in 2018 to be close to her family after recovering from her fourth brain surgery, radiation treatments and chemotherapy.
