In a heart-wrenching turn of events, the community of Hogansville mourns the loss of a beloved ministry leader, entrepreneur, and devoted mother, Amy Renee Elder, who passed away on Sunday, October 1, 2023. Amy, 44, was not just a wife and mother but also a faithful follower of Jesus, dedicating her life to serving God and spreading love to all she encountered.
Amy’s life, though tragically cut short, was a testament to her unwavering faith and boundless love. She placed her life and eternity in the hands of Jesus, embracing her identity as a child of God and the daughter of the King of Kings. Her faith radiated through every aspect of her existence, shaping her relationships with family, friends, and even adversaries.
Known for her infectious personality and warm smile, Amy was a beacon of light in the lives of those around her. Her deep love for her family and friends knew no bounds, and she was quick to forgive and generously extend her kindness to all. Her laughter was contagious, brightening any room she entered. Amy cherished the simple joys of life, finding delight in the music of the 1980s, especially her favorite band New Kids on the Block, the autumn season, and the festive atmosphere of Christmas.
Amy was not just a movie buff but also a fan of classic films such as “License to Drive,” “Pretty in Pink,” “Can’t Buy Me Love,” and “Girl’s Just Want to Have Fun.” Her love for television shows like “Friends” and romantic films including “The Notebook” and “Titanic” showcased her sentimental side. She found humor in the comedians Trey Kennedy, Tim Hawkins, and John Crist, and like many, she relished the delights of Chick-fil-A.
Stephanie Lynn Beck shared a post on fb on the death of Amy:
I was thinking about how blessed I was to have Amy Elder as a friend. Then it hit me. She was more than a friend she was a sister. Every now and then I got to be a part of the sisters. Those were the best nights. Whether it was a long dinner or a crazy concert. You remembered it. Wilson Phillips on the radio still brings back so many memories. So much love and so much laughter will never be forgotten. I am a better person to have been loved by Amy. I loved her out of the blue text. My heart is broken. She was the most amazing person I ever knew and I love her so much. To her family… I love you all and I’m praying for each of you.
Above all, Amy revered God’s word, considering it the foundation of her life’s journey. It illuminated her path and provided solace in her trials, guiding her every step.
To celebrate Amy’s remarkable life, her family invites friends and well-wishers to join them at Oaklawn Baptist Church, 482 Pine Road, Newnan, GA, on Friday, October 6th at 6:00 pm. This gathering will not just mourn the loss of a cherished soul but also honor the legacy of a woman whose love, faith, and laughter touched the hearts of everyone fortunate enough to know her.
