When Amy was a young woman, she moved to Chicago and worked as a waitress during the winter, with her sisters Emily and Margaret. She would return to Willard in the spring to help her brother on the farm, and then return to Chicago in the winters to waitress.

She resided there until entering Care & Rehab in July 2012. She was a member of Holy Family Catholic Church, and loved to garden, make wine and bake potica.
