Amy B. Christensen

Our beloved Amy Beth Christensen, of Norwood, died Sunday, November 5, 2023, at her home. Amy was born December 6, 1966, in Bridgeport, Connecticut. She spent her early years in Tonawanda and Getzville, NY. In 1976, she moved with her family to Westwood, MA and graduated from Westwood High School in 1985. She later earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Theater Arts from U Mass Boston. She has been a resident of Norwood for decades.

Amy lived life to the fullest. She delighted in traveling and spending time with friends and family. Full of quick wit and humor, Amy loved her time working at the Comedy Connection in Boston. Her years employed by National Amusements brought her much enjoyment and treasured friendships. Being “Aunt Amy” was Amy’s favorite title and she adored her nieces and nephews with all her heart. She was an avid Red Sox fan and an armchair Jeopardy champ. Many of the things that Amy enjoyed most in this world were, eventually, out of her reach due to her neurological condition. As a result of that, her relationship with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, grew, and it led her to be more serious about her faith. She realized that He was and is her only hope in life and in death.

Amy is survived by her mother, Joy Christensen of Norwood; her brother Dave Christensen, and his wife Phoebe, of Attleboro; her sister, Sue Crowe, and her husband Paul, of Evington, VA; her nieces and nephews, DJ Crowe, and his wife Virginia, Daniel Christensen, and his wife, Hannah, Drew Crowe, Timothy Christensen, Laura Crowe, and Julie Crowe; her great-nephew, Kyle, and her great-niece, Maya; and other cherished extended family members and friends, including her best friend since 4th grade, Linda Fitzhenry.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend Amy’s Memorial Service, followed by a time of fellowship, on Friday, November 10, 2023 at 2:30 pm at the United Church of Norwood, 595 Washington Street, Norwood. Private interment will be in Highland Cemetery in Norwood. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Amy’s church, Parkway Presbyterian Church, 16 Cohasset St, Roslindale, MA 02131, or online at www.parkwaypresbyterian.com/giving
