However, she would like us to celebrate her life next year. September 25, 2021 will be the day of celebration of Amber’s life. Details will be shared closer to the date.
Amber enjoyed many things in her life. She was a very talented artist with a love of painting and drawing, especially landscapes like her idol Bob Ross. Amber loved spending time with her brother Ayden.
Amber was featured on WTMJ 4
Her favorite thing to do was play with her cat Basil. Throughout the years Amber enjoyed her time at Camp One Step where she met other friends going through the same cancer journey.
A special thanks to Camp One Step for helping Amber know it was okay to have cancer and that she still mattered. To the many many doctors at Children’s Wisconsin, because of these brilliant, compassionate people, we had more time together.
The nurses there also played such a big part of Amber’s life. Amber thought of Children’s as a second home filled with people she loved like family. Thank you to the West Bend School District for making sure Amber was able to graduate with her class of 2018. MMG Milwaukee for giving her a very special day, Make-A-Wish for allowing her to see Hawaii, and the Hoefert family for continued support.
Proceeded in death by Keith Pflughoeft, Michael Thelen, Earl Pflughoeft and all her lost friends to childhood cancer.
Memorials to the family are appreciated.
i miss you, amber
