Amy was born in Clinton Arkansas in 1923 and married at the young age of 15 traveling to California with her new Husband, she spent most of her adult life living in Northern California and always said the Bay Area was her true home. She reluctantly became an Oregon resident when she agreed to accompany her son on his relocation dreams.
Amy truly loved her family and that is what she always said she lived for! Even at the end of her long life she worried more about them then she did herself. She was able to visit with many of her relatives including great great grandchildren! So few people are lucky enough to be able to enjoy 4 generations in one room!
Amy was preceded in death by her sons Dewayne and Emmet (Eddy) Reid, bothers Joe Campbell, James Sowell, and Charles Sowell, as well as Beloved sister Ida Bell Huffman.
Survivors include her son Shane Smith, Daughter-in-Law Sandi Smith, brothers Ulysses Sowell and Claude Campbell, Grand Children Lorree Drake Reid, Suzy Reid, Paula, Pamala, Chris and Heather Reid, Jacob and Leilani Smith. Nieces Darlene Huffman, Pam Huffman Poteete, nephew Jim Poteete, multiple great, great great grandchildren, and great nephews-nieces, great great nieces and nephews. She had a very large family that’s impossible to list all of them!
Per her wishes she will be returning to the Bay Area to have her ashes scattered at sea at a later date.
