Funeral Services will be held on Saturday, December 6, 2008 at 11:00am at the Becker Auditorium (at the Bonners Ferry High School) in Bonners Ferry, Idaho with interment will follow in the Grandview Cemetery in Bonners Ferry, Idaho. Amy Elizabeth Farrell was born October 28,1987 in Sandpoint Idaho. She moved with her family to Oregon in 1988 and lived there for 8 years. She returned to Bonners Ferry to live in 1996 and graduated from Bonners Ferry high school in 2005. Amy lived a very active high school life with sports and particularly choir. She was in several choirs throughout her high school years including general choir, jazz choir, honors choir, All Northwest Choir, A select woman choir who performed in China, and Wild Mountain Thyme. She participated on stage in Fiddler On The Roof as daughter Hodel. She also played lead as a wonderful Cinderella on stage before heading off to college. After high school she went to southern California (Hollywood) to the American Musical And Dramatic Academy " AMDA " which is an audition only specialty school. She graduated early because she went straight through the summer sessions. She then began the long hard process of "how do I fit in this industry"?. She kept the high road in an industry that is brutal on precious young souls. She played background parts, extras, modeling, and had recording sessions with Andy Zulla who is one of the top producer/mixers in the music industry. Amy spent much of this year working with children while she continued to network in the acting/modeling/music industry. The families she was involved with have become extended family with her. She had a way of infecting people she was involved with her love, forgiveness, and acceptance. They all fell in love with her. Amy lived a full and consistent life. She was always cheerful, loved to sing, and loved everybody. She had a smile that stood out to all who knew her. She knew no boundaries with her social network. Her friendships were all special and they included all ages of people. She especially loved children and any family she became involved with loved her as their own. Perhaps Amy summed up her life best with her blurb on her Myspace: About Me: I am a small town girl I love laughing I am a Christian I have the most amazing and supportive family I could ask for My friends mean the world to me I am in love with my boyfriend, he is amazing Home is where the heart is - Idaho Amy passed away on November 29,2008 and the heavens have received a beautiful soul.
