Amelia was a retired Registered Nurse having earned her degree in 1980 from Hocking Technical College in Nelsonville, Ohio. She earned a national certificate having passed her Boards with a score high enough it allowed her to work anywhere in the country without having to take testing in the state in which she chose to reside.  Most of her career was spent working in Texas, with her last job working in her dream position of home health.  An avid crocheter and knitter, she would run her own business , for a time,  called Dee's to Please, creating custom afghans and blankets for her clients. She loved to laugh and tell jokes so much so that she would participate in a local club's open mic night on a regular basis.

Prior to her move to Chillicothe, Amelia was a member of Word of Life Church. in Fort Worth, Texas. She attended Real Joy Community Church in Chillicothe when possible.

Per her wishes there will be no funeral service. A private family ceremony will be held at a later date.

The family would like to express their gratitude to the staffs at Adena, Riverside Methodist and Hopeton Village for their part in helping Amelia with her battle.

Memorial contributions can be made to the American Cancer Society in her name.
