Amy S. Pennington April 12, 1964 – June 22, 2026 With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Amy S. Pennington, a cherished wife, devoted mother, and a beloved member of her community. Amy departed this world peacefully on June 22, 2026, surrounded by her loved ones, leaving behind a legacy of love, kindness, and dedication that will be remembered for generations. Born in the charming town of Ottawa, Kansas, on April 12, 1964, Amy was the beloved daughter of Hector and Connie Roblez. She spent her formative years in a nurturing environment that celebrated family values and the joy of community. Amy was preceded in death by her loving parents, her dear sister Sharon Benson, and brother-in-law Mike Benson, with whom she shared countless treasured memories. As a young woman with an insatiable thirst for knowledge, Amy graduated from Emporia High School in 1982. She pursued her passion for education at Emporia State University, earning a Bachelor of Science degree. Her academic journey continued with a master's degree from Kansas State University and an Educational Specialist degree from the University of Missouri - Kansas City. Amy's commitment to learning and growing was evident in every step of her career as an instructional and eLearning designer, where she contributed her talents to various Kansas City area companies, shaping the minds of countless individuals through her innovative work. On September 17, 1988, Amy married the love of her life, Robert Pennington. Their marriage was a testament to unwavering love and mutual respect, and together they built a family filled with warmth and laughter. Amy is survived by her devoted husband Robert, who was her partner in every sense of the word, and their children, who were her pride and joy: Matthew Pennington, Sarah Krivena, along with her husband Justin, and Joseph Pennington. Amy's nurturing spirit and endless support were the foundation upon which her family thrived. Beyond her professional and familial achievements, Amy was an active member of the Holy Trinity Catholic Church, where she found spiritual solace and a community of like-minded individuals. Her hobbies reflected her zest for life and her appreciation for the beauty in the world. A passionate gardener, an animal lover, and an avid traveler, Amy found joy in the simple pleasures, often sharing her adventures and discoveries with those around her. Amy had a particular fondness for England and the British royal family, often expressing her admiration with a joyful "God save the King!" Her sense of humor and love for all things British brought smiles to the faces of many. As we bid farewell to Amy, we carry her spirit in our hearts and honor her memory by living our lives with the same grace and compassion that she exemplified every day. Her family extends their deepest gratitude to all who have offered their love and support during this difficult time. A celebration of Amy's life will be held at a later date, where family and friends will gather to share stories, laughter, and tears in remembrance of a remarkable woman who touched so many lives. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Amy's name to a charity of your choice, reflecting her generous spirit and commitment to making the world a better place. Amy S. Pennington will be dearly missed, but her legacy of love and kindness will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know her.
