Amy Theresa Ketch-Leitch

April 2, 2013

Amy Theresa Ketch-Leitch, 24, of Pensacola, passed away unexpectedly on March, 28, 2013. Amy, the daughter of Phil and Lorna Ketch, was born February 25, 1989 in Caribou, Maine.
Amy moved to Pensacola in August 2006. Amy was well versed in classical piano, and taught private lessons in high school. She broadened her musical repertoire by taking up the cello. She excelled in cello while keeping her piano skills sharp. Amy graduated high school in 2007.

Amy married Caleb Leitch in May of 2007, and gave birth to her son, Jayden James Carter, whom she loved and adored, in July 2008. With an intense desire to help people, Amy graduated from Fortis College with her associate’s degree in 2009, and became a medical assistant for Baptist Healthcare. Her youthful vibrancy enabled her to transfer her musical passion into her work as a medical assistant. She often spoke of how she enjoyed helping people through her work. Amy was preparing to continue her education to become an R.N., so that her range of care for others would be extended. Her beauty and compassion for family, friends, and strangers is unmatched. She is resting eternally with her Savior Jesus Christ.

Amy leaves behind her husband, Caleb; son, Jayden; parents, Phil and Lorna Ketch of Pensacola; sister, Danielle Poorman and husband Chad and their daughter Chloe, of Jackson, Tennessee; paternal grandparents, Philip and Gloria Ketch of Caribou, Maine; maternal grandmother, Norma Bouchard of Herman, Maine, and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and many friends. We shall remember her with that familiar smile and unique giggle.

    Amy, indeed, was a loving, caring person…easy for others to love, as well. She has left a hole in many people’s hearts that will be hard to fill. We will be praying for her family, and many friends she has left behind.
