North Tazewell, Virginia — July 8, 2025 — With heavy hearts and deep sorrow, the community of North Tazewell announces the untimely passing of Amy Marie Lawson, who departed this life on July 3, 2025, at the age of 38. A beloved daughter, friend, and light to many, Amy’s passing leaves an ache that words cannot fully express.

Known for her gentle spirit and unwavering loyalty to those she loved, Amy carried with her a quiet strength — the kind that held people together during hard times and lifted them up during the good. To be in her presence was to feel cared for, seen, and safe.

Family and friends remember Amy as someone who lived simply but loved deeply. Her laughter was soft but contagious, her kindness subtle but unforgettable. Whether in shared conversations at the kitchen table, long drives through the Virginia hills, or simple moments of stillness, Amy made people feel like they mattered.

“She never needed the spotlight,” said a close friend. “Her love was in the small things — a text to check in, a meal when you were sick, a hug when you didn’t know you needed one.”

Amy is survived by those who adored her — her family, who cherished her as a daughter, sister, and steady soul; and friends, who leaned on her loyalty and knew her as a confidante and companion.

A memorial service will be held at her childhood home on July 12, 2025, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, where loved ones will gather not only to mourn, but to celebrate the grace and quiet beauty of her life.

Though Amy’s time on earth was far too short, her love lives on — in memories, in laughter, and in every heart she touched. As North Tazewell says goodbye, it does so with love, gratitude, and the hope that Amy has found peace, wrapped in the same warmth she gave so freely to others
