Amy Kathleen Dewaal was born Jan. 27, 1994. She is the daughter of John Dewaal and the late Rebecca Agee Dewaal.
She graduated from Lebanon High School in 2012. After high school, Amy earned a computer science degree from Covenant College in 2016. Amy became a software engineer with Skuid & Nintex after graduation, and she made her home in Chattanooga.
She was a member of New City Fellowship where she served on the hospitality team, the Nexus young adult ministry leadership team and several small groups. Some of Amy’s favorite activities were reading anything and everything, playing Dungeons & Dragons with her Sunday night group, knitting sweaters, creating cute origami animals, traveling, and baking — especially, cookies. She enjoyed spending time with friends and family, adventures in nature and tending to her flowers and cats, Kudo and Theo. She was a kind, gentle, peacemaker who brought people together and loved Jesus with all her heart.
