Amelia's Journey Home
Many of you have heard of
the loss of Kurt and Ashley's daughter Amelia Marie. They hope
that people who have been affected by Amelia's life resolve to become better,
nicer, and kinder than before. As a result of this incident,
many of us have determined to be influential in having better families and
communities, and doing what we can to share this feeling with those around us.
We recognize that there
are still many people who would like to be able to contribute in other
ways. Kurt and Ashley are unaware, but we have set up an account in
memory of Amelia, in order to alleviate the financial burdens resulting from
this unexpected tragedy and to help them down the road.
Washington, Utah
Amelia Marie Hansen, age 2, passed away on Sunday, March 17, 2013.
Amelia was born in St George to Kurt and Ashley Hansen. She is a happy girl
that loved everyone she came into contact with, as well as caused those people
to fall in love with her. Amelia was always her own boss and enjoyed
independence. Although Amelia was never a big hugger, she enjoyed giving head
bonks and high fives. She was never very concerned with purses and dolls. Her
focus was directed toward things like bears, deer, elk and backpacks. Amelia
loved to be outdoors in the dirt and mud. One of Amelia's favorite subjects is
wildlife and she loved to see them however she could whether it was by
pictures, video, shopping cart tours of the local sporting goods store, or
being out in the wilderness with her family. She has always shown deep love for
her little brother Jet and infant sister Cora. Amelia has been and will
continue to be an inspiration to us to be better individuals than we were the
day before. Amelia has a captivating spirit that will be with us forever.
