Amy Elizabeth Schroeder, 61, of Dubuque, Iowa, passed away peacefully on July 9, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.
Visitation will be held on Monday, July 14, beginning at 10 am with a funeral service to follow at 1 pm at Egelhof, Siegert & Casper Funeral Home.
With unwavering hope and strength, Amy chose to undergo intensive treatment for ovarian cancer. As a result, she gifted her family and friends five more beautiful, memory-filled years.
Amy was born September 23, 1963 in Dubuque, Iowa, the cherished daughter of the late Jan and Gail (Arduser) Seipp.
From a young age, Amy showed remarkable compassion for others. A summer spent living at Bethany Home helping her grandmother transition would later inspire her lifelong calling to nursing.
After graduating from Hempstead high school, Amy attended Stewart's School of Cosmetology in Davenport Iowa then worked for three years as a hairstylist. Realizing her true passion was in healthcare, she earned an AAS in Radiologic Technology then immediately entered the nursing program. She dedicated the next 31 years to caring for residents in various nursing facilities within the Dubuque area.
Amy had a gift for turning ordinary moments into celebrations. Her joyful spirit and endless creativity brought people together and made every gathering feel special. More than anything, she poured her heart into being a mom, deeply involved in her kids' lives and always focused on their happiness, comfort, and wellbeing.
Those who knew Amy will remember her radiant smile, quiet humility, boundless positivity, and uncanny ability to make everyone feel seen and valued. She turned life's challenges into opportunities for growth and connection, spreading joy wherever she went.
Amy will be deeply missed and forever cherished by her devoted husband and best friend of 34 years, Jeff, and the kiddos: Curtis (Rebecca), Anna, and Sara (Austin Johns). She is also survived by her sisters, Shelly Oehrle (Dan) and Melissa Seipp (Mike); her extended family of in-laws, nieces, nephews; and a wide circle of beloved friends.
The family extends heartfelt gratitude to the wonderful and compassionate MercyOne oncology staff, Hospice of Dubuque, and the many friends and family members who supported Amy throughout her journey.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Hospice of Dubuque or the Avery Foundation.
