Amy loved to read, go on walks, and bake for the ones she loved. She enjoyed crocheting, especially blankets for her family and scarves for her students.
She adored all of her students that she taught over her teaching career, and all of her students adored her as well. She was a local celebrity amongst the elementary students. There was never a child that didn’t love Mrs. Johns.
