Obituary: Amy Elizabeth Jeffrey (Huber)

Amy E. Jeffrey (Huber) passed away at the Good Samaritan Hospice (Marley House) in Prescott, Ariz., at 8 a.m. on Sunday, Jan. 23, 2011, after a long and courageous battle with ovarian cancer.

Amy is survived by her husband Gregory Huber, and their three children, Andrea (12), Samantha (16) and Zachary (18), as well as her sister Julie Moderson of Kaukauna, Wis., and numerous other family members scattered across the country.

Amy was born on Jan. 2, 1962, in Kaukauna, Wis., graduated from Arizona State University in 1986, and worked in Phoenix as an insurance adjuster from 1987 through 1994. Thereafter, Amy dedicated her full-time effort to the care and education of her children. Throughout her years in Phoenix, Amy also worked tirelessly with organizations supporting and protecting women's reproductive rights.

Greg and the children, with input from their aunt Julie and dear friend Carol Reichenberger of Phoenix, are planning to create a memorial to Amy on their property in Prescott. A private memorial service in Prescott for family and close friends will be scheduled this coming spring.

The support provided by so many in the Prescott community throughout Amy's four-year battle for life, and the boundless compassion, comfort and guidance offered in Amy's final days at Good Samaritan's hospice in Prescott, the Marley House, have left an indelible mark on Amy's family.

Like her children, ovarian cancer rendered Amy motherless at a young age and, during her own battle, Amy became a crusader for greater public awareness of ovarian cancer and financial support for research and the search for a cure to ovarian cancer.

Amy was a fighter...for the causes she believed in, and ultimately for her life. To those who may wish to honor Amy's dedication and determination, consider a donation in her name to Ovation For The Cure, a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation dedicated to supporting ovarian cancer research, patient treatment and awareness.
