She was the proud mother to Donna Copeland (predeceased 2023) (Don), Carolyn Clark (Bob), Douglas Spiers (Heather), June Dickson, and Cathy Edwards (Billy Stenton).<br><br>She was a loving grandmother to Chris Spiers (Shelley), Jeff Spiers (Heather), Amanda Jones(Kurtis ), Jen Clark (Tim Bastedo), and Jon Clark (Fran). Amy\u2019s legacy continues through her great-grandchildren: Victoria Spiers (Evan), Austin Spiers (Maddie), Tristan Spiers, Braiden Jones (Christie), Leland Bastedo, Ruby Bastedo, and Griffin Clark.<br><br>Amy was born on November 20, 1928, in Ravenscliffe, Ontario, to Christopher and Grace Robinson (n\u00e9e Tipper). She was the youngest of seven children: Miriam, Florence, Olive, Dennis, Duncan, and Barbara, who all passed away before her.<br><br>After moving to Huntsville to attend high school, Amy stayed to build a life and raise her family. She found great joy in her home, dedicating herself to being a caring and hard-working wife and mother. She loved reading, listening to country music, and keeping a protective eye over her garden flowers. Her family will always remember the hours she spent Christmas baking and the thoughtful care packages that found their way to each of us over the years. We will all miss her wiry, strong hugs and the twinkle in her eye. She will be remembered by many nieces and nephews and former friends and neighbours.<br><br><strong>A service to celebrate Amy\u2019s life will be held at Mitchell Funeral Home, 15 High Street, Huntsville, ON, on Friday, May 2, 2025, at 1:00 p.m., with visitation beginning at 12:00 p.m. A reception will follow at the Funeral Home.<\/strong><br><br>In lieu of flowers, donations in Amy\u2019s memory may be made to the Huntsville Hospital Foundation or a charity of your choice.<br><br>The family extends heartfelt thanks to the staff at Country Moments and Muskoka Shores for the kindness and care they provided to Mom in her later years.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is with love and gratitude for a life well-lived that we announce the peaceful passing of Amy Josephine Spiers (n\u00e9e Robinson) on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, at Muskoka Shores [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1904,"featured_media":191345,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-191344","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-obituaries"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
