She worked in the OR and specialized in eye surgery in her early career before becoming a nurse consultant and care manager. She was a gifted pianist, artist, writer, and decorator, and loved watching her favorite shows on HGTV.
Amy is survived by her husband of 31 years Eric, daughter Paisley and her husband Eric Carpenter, and son Jordan Edgerton, all of the Melbourne, FL area as well as her sister Tracey, her husband Travis Martin, and niece Sydney of Raleigh, NC. Amy was lovingly known as “Mom” and will be truly missed by her family and friends.
