Amy was born to David Lynn Atteberry and Earline Atteberry (nee Chapman) on October 12, 1959.
She grew up predominantly in Dallas, Texas and was middle sister to two brothers. She was a vibrant, fun-loving girl and teenager and always chased adventure. She attended Justin Kimball High School in Oak Cliff.
Early in life she became a single mother to Tamera Dawn VanDyke, her only daughter and child. She devoted herself tirelessly to raising and supporting her daughter with care and affection while also working as an accountant.
She was a supportive sister who introduced her younger brother, Jeffrey Atteberry to the joys of popular music and took him to concerts, like U2 and Beatlefest.
In 2001, after her daugher graduated from college, she moved to sunny southern california in search of a sea change and a new life adventure.
Shortly after arriving in Long Beach, she met and fell in love with Ali Sadri, whom she married in 2009. Amy and Ali settled in Irvine, where they were active members of the local Persian community. Blessed with a curious, creative mind, Amy had an abiding interested in music, cultural history, movies and design. She was also an avid gardener and absolutely loved nature surrounding herself with it. She always loved playing string instruments, including her beloved Cello, which she played since she was a teenager.
Sadly, Amy was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2013 - she was an incredibly resilient fighter of this disease and she remained optimistic and always had a hopeful spirit. During this time, she found solace in her baking, Persian cats and researching family genealogy.
Her daughter married and moved to Australia where she currently lives now. Amy often spoke highly and fondly of her daughter's husband, calling him the son she never had. She was also very connected to her extended family in Australia whom she was hoping to meet in the future one day.
She was an incredibly loving, devoted wife and mother and will always remembered as having a heart of gold.
Amy is survived by her husband, mother, daughter, two brothers.
She will be remembered always and forever in our hearts.
