From her family:
Hi Everyone. Last night, our mom Amy passed away peacefully in her sleep. She fought long and hard with her illnesses all her life, and we are so thankful and proud she was able to live this long. She was a wonderful mother, wife, daughter, sibling, friend, cousin, and attorney. One of her requests was to update her friends on Facebook. She loved you all dearly.
Love Alexa, Annie, and Doug
From the Iowa City Press-Citizen:
Iowa City - Amy Lynn Evenson, 53 of Iowa City, IA passed away on August 6th, 2021 at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.
Amy was born September 21st, 1967 in Cedar Falls, IA, the daughter of Wayne Evenson and Gloria Holtkamp Evenson. Amy grew up in Cedar Falls and in her teens was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma which she overcame and went on to graduate from Cedar Falls High School, University of Iowa (BA), and the University of Northern Illinois Law School (JD).
Amy moved back to Iowa in 1993 and eventually ended up in Iowa City where she met her husband, Douglas Fredericks. They were married at St. Thomas More Catholic Church in Iowa City on December 27th, 1996. Amy was told early in her adult life she wouldn't be able to conceive children due to her cancer disease and treatment, but Amy was determined to have kids. Amy beat the odds, as only she could, and gave birth to two beautiful daughters, Alexa Renee (20) and Abigail Elizabeth (16). Amy fought her disease for a long time so she could see Alexa and Abbie grow up. Amy was so proud of her daughters and their accomplishments. Amy was the best mother two daughters could ever have. Even with her illness depriving her of energy, Amy attended all their school activities from sports to band concerts. Those were her proudest moments seeing her daughters excel at what they loved doing.
Amy was a loving wife, mother, sister, and friend. She treated all with respect and kindness. She was passionate about justice and equality, and her compassion shined through in her many contributions to charity. Her intense love for family made her the glue of loved ones, and there was nothing she loved more than catching up with relatives and friends. Amy was a devoted pet owner all her life, and her animals were equally as devoted to her loving nature. She always said, "a house is not a home without a pet to love".
Amy practiced law at Larson Evenson Law Firm for over 25 years. She was as supportive, loyal and talented attorney. She helped families and children through difficult times with skill and heart. She made lives better. Judges appointed her to their most difficult cases, knowing she would fight for her clients, often the most disadvantaged among us. Amy also specialized in helping accident victims, fighting to help people who had been injured regain dignity and get justice. She took cases no one else would take and won them. Amy always fought for the people who had the least.
Amy is survived by her husband of 25 years, Douglas Fredericks, daughters Alexa and Abbie Fredericks, brothers Dave Evenson of Cedar Falls, Matt Evenson (Christine) of Medford Oregon, John Evenson of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, sister Beth Phillips (Bill) of Iowa City, and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews and nieces. She is proceeded in death by her parents Wayne and Gloria Evenson of Cedar Falls.
--It's been a long day without you my friend and we'll tell you all about it when we see you again.
