Our dear mother Amy Hoyt-Whiteley passed away suddenly on July 8th, 2022 at the age of 55 in Omaha, Nebraska. She was born on July 20, 1966 and grew up in Pender, Nebraska. She graduated from Pender High School in 1984. She was an amazing woman, mother and friend who devoted her life to teaching others the gift of music. She spent much of her life teaching children piano, as well as accompanying various musical groups and choirs. She was employed with Omaha Public Schools at Omaha North High School as the piano accompanist for the music department and was very active in the Omaha music community. She enjoyed spending time with her friends and family, gardening, fishing, riding her Harley motorcycle and playing music. She was incredibly giving and one of her last acts was donating her organs in order to save several lives. Her loss will be felt by every person her heart touched, because she was such a bright light in this world.
She was predeceased by her parents, Patrick and Joeann Hoyt and survived by her daughters Kelsey M Whiteley and Santana L Whiteley, life partner Mitchell Sainovich and his sons Michael and Jesse Sainovich, and her brother Brook Hoyt (Michelle Hoyt) and various nieces, nephews, and cousins.
