Amy Earthman Cardwell

Amy Elaine Earthman Cardwell, 47, was born on April 3, 1968 in Houston, Texas and died October 16, 2015 in Austin, Texas. Amy was an incredibly loving mother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend to so many. She was filled with life, energy and laughter, and had a great quality of making others feel special. Her greatest pride and joy were her two daughters, Margaret Deane Cardwell and Lee Madison Cardwell. Nothing and no one made Amy happier or more proud than Margaret and Lee.

Amy loved the joys of life – to be with her girls, laugh, read a good book, spend time with family and friends, have fun, tell funny stories, and walk her beloved dog, Marcus. She faced adversity with great resolve and courage, and will forever be remembered for her tremendous heart, generous spirit and loving nature.
