Help Honor the Life of Amy Marie Thomas-Russ & Support Her Family

On August 14, 2025, our beloved Amy Marie Russ-Thomas went to be with the Lord at just 51 years old. Her passing was sudden and unexpected, caused by unexplainable cardiac arrest. Losing her so soon has left our family in shock and deep sorrow.

Amy was a loving mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, and friend. She had a gift for seeing the good in everyone, a heart full of compassion, and a deep faith in God and Jesus Christ. Her free spirit found beauty in every moment, and her greatest joy was her family.

We are raising funds to cover the costs associated with Amy’s passing, including cremation and funeral home expenses. In addition, there will be expenses for clearing and sorting her home and storage, as well as supporting her autistic 12-year-old son Israel.

Israel will be moving from Redding, California to Texas, where he will live with his sister Emily Wilder, Amys eldest child. This will be a big change for Israel, and we want to ensure he has the resources, stability, and care he needs during this transition.

How your donations will be used:
• Cremation and funeral home services
• Costs to sort and clear Amy’s house and storage
• Moving expenses for Israel’s relocation to Texas
• Care and support for Israel as he adjusts to his new home

Any donations beyond funeral expenses will go directly toward Israel’s move and ongoing care.

We are deeply grateful for any amount you can give, whether it’s large or small. Your generosity will help us honor Amy’s memory, ease the financial burdens we face, and ensure her youngest son is cared for with the love and stability Amy would have wanted for him.

If you cannot give financially, your prayers, memories, and kind words are also a gift we will treasure.

Thank you for loving Amy and for standing with our family during this difficult time.
