Amy was born February 21, 1922 on the family farmstead near Simmie, SK. Amy was known as “The Little One”, small in stature but big on personality and grace. From a very young age to her passing she had a keen sense of style and fashion, always looking her best. In 1945 she married Everett Bolton on March 9th. They settled on his farm in the Simmie district. They had one son Brent and Amy was a caring loving step mother to Gerald Bolton. She spent many happy years on the farm helping Everett even going with his custom combine crew to Texas, Kansas and many other southern states. Amy was a member of the Simmie Stagettes where she met many lifelong friends. IN the winter of 1954-55 they built a beautiful new home in Swift Current where Amy lived for 62 years! She and Everett commuted to the Simmie farm well into their 90’s. Amy recently moved to the Riverview Village Estates where she was enjoying visiting with friends and relatives until her passing. Amy was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and friend to all that knew her. She loved playing Bridge and going to her Ladies Investment Club. She and Everett enjoyed many years traveling to Las Vegas, Hawaii, Mexico to name a few places. We know she and Everett are together once more dancing in heaven.
