Kennesaw

Amy Shiro Wamweya, beloved daughter, sister and friend, passed away tragically in a car accident on July 12, 2024. Amy lived in our community for 20 wonderful years, touching the lives of everyone she met with her kind spirit and loving nature. Amy was loved by her family, friends, and community.

Amy found great comfort and strength in her faith, which guided her throughout her life. Her commitment to living a meaningful and purposeful life was evident in everything she did. During her high school years, Amy was passionate about playing lacrosse with her friends, creating lasting memories and friendships on the field. She was an avid fan of the Braves and the Georgia Bulldogs, always cheering for her favorite teams with enthusiasm and pride.

Amy is survived by her loving parents, Joseph and Florence Waweru, and her brothers, Robert and Roy Wamweya, who provided her with unwavering love and support throughout her life.

In reflecting on her life, Amy often shared a quote that exemplified her outlook: "We often hear, 'Life is short, enjoy it,' but we often forget; 'Eternity is long, prepare for it."

Amy's legacy of love kindness and faith will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. She will be deeply missed but forever remembered.
