Amy Darlene Price, 57, of Foxworth, MS, passed away at home on Sunday, December 17, 2023. During the past weeks of her illness, loving friends and family surrounded her. Her mother, Linda Bean Price, and her brother, Danny Ray Price, were with her at their childhood home when Amy went to be with the Lord.
Amy was born in Columbia, MS on May 18, 1966. Her proud parents were Linda Bean Price and Earl Ray Price, Jr. Amy's grandmother, Edna Mae Bean, assisted with her birth at Marion General Hospital. Her grandparents were great influences in Amy's life and all of them precede her in death: Earl Ray Price, Sr.; Kathleen Bozeman Price; Lawrence Chandler Bean; and Edna Mae Martin Bean.
Amy graduated from West Marion High School as the Valedictorian of the Class of 1984. She went on to attend Hinds Community College. Amy was unique in many ways; "one of a kind" and no one ever doubted the love that she felt for her family and friends. Amy was a lover of all sports, astrology, and reading. She enjoyed the Easter holiday most. Amy shared this with her family by always dying an egg with each person's name on it. Everyone looked forward to this.
Lastly, Amy was passionate and dedicated to her job at Southern Tire Mart where she had worked since 2009. She loved her work family and if ever you met Amy; she left an impression on you.
She is survived by her mother, Linda Bean Price; her father, Earl Ray
Price, Jr. (Karen); her brother, Danny Ray Price (Janet); her nephews, Alex Price (Peyton) and Drew Price; her great-nephew, Will Price. A lifelong friend, Yvonne Morgan, also survives Amy. They have been together through it all. It was said by Yvonne that Amy never had a negative word to say about anyone and that says it all!
