Obituary of Amy Jo Cassidy

Bedford - Amy Jo Hawkins Cassidy, of Bedford, IN, died Sunday peacefully, April 28, 2019 at her residence surrounded by loved ones.  Born September 22, 1967, in Bloomington, IN, she was the daughter of Michael Dean, Sr. and Carolyn Jo (Southern) Hawkins.  She married Randall Cassidy on October 7, 2000 and he survives.

Surviving with her husband are one son, Jameson (Jane) Cassidy of Richmond, CA, one daughter, Kathryn Cassidy of Bloomington, IN; one special “Lil Man”, Colton Shelton-Vincent, Bedford, IN; her mother, Carolyn, two brothers, Michael Dean Hawkins, Jr (Stephanie) and Matthew Barry Hawkins (Sarah), both of Bedford; one grandson, Elio Cassidy, and Nephews and Nieces Christopher Hawkins (Janet), Kendall (Eric - Ellie) Eyler, Hannah Hawkins, and Amelia Savage.  She was preceded in death by her father.

Amy was proud to call Mac Powell and the Christian Band Third Day friends, traveling to many venues to hang out with her Gomer friends.  Their music provided oil for her lamp, as she loved sharing light, her faith and hope with others. She was a Registered Nurse who specialized in pediatric nursing and her mission and ministry in life was that of an encourager.  Those who knew Amy would agree that she accomplished all of those things and more as she fought her own long and courageous battle with ovarian cancer. 

Services for Amy Jo will be at 11:00 a.m. Thursday, May 2nd, at Day and Carter Mortuary.  Burial will follow at Dive Cemetery.  Friends may call from 4-8 p.m. Wednesday, May 1^st at Day and Carter Funeral Home. Family and friends may express condolences at www.daycarter.com.
