With fragile hearts we share that Amy Leanne Fry-Miller of Wabash, Indiana, age 42, passed away on February 26, 2025. She was born March 6, 1982 in Fort Wayne to Paul and Kathy Fry-Miller.
Amy was truly a citizen of the world and beloved by those whose lives she touched. Serving others was her calling in life.
Amy graduated from Manchester College in Peace Studies and Spanish. She later completed a Massage Therapy degree at Ivy Tech Fort Wayne.
She lived at the Garchen Buddhist Institute in Arizona for eight years. There she studied and practiced with Tibetan Lamas and her Buddhist community. She served as assistant manager, head chef, and chant master, doing regular meditation retreats and prayers for world peace.
When Amy became a Massage Therapist (Peru, IN), licensed and nationally certified, she served with compassion and sensitivity.
She especially enjoyed gardening, camping, kayaking, hiking, music, and game nights. Amy participated in many service/learning trips and other travel to 12 countries and 48 states.
She was deeply committed to making the world a better place. She spoke out against injustice and violence. Volunteer work included Habitat for Humanity, church work camps, FW Dance Collective C.A.P. on Violence program, blood donations. Her most recent gift was donating her brain for research.
Amy received her diagnosis of brain cancer 22 months ago. Knowing that they were facing both tender and tough times, she and Brett made the decision to get married last May.
Amy is tenderly remembered by her loving husband Brett Michael Shull; beloved step children Paloma Danielle, Brett Robert, and Demetri Allen Shull; parents Paul and Kathy Fry-Miller; sister Carrie Beth Fry-Miller; brother Eric Fry-Miller; grandpa Joe Mason; German-American sister Anika (Luke) MacDonald, Noah, Allie, and Max; wonderful in-laws, extended family, and friends.
There will be a service of celebration of Amy’s life on March 22, 2025 at 2pm at Manchester Church of the Brethren.
Charitable donations may be made to ACRES Land Trust or the Manchester University Peace Studies (“In honor of Amy, Peace Witness Fund”).
