Amy was born on May 6, 1927 on a farm south of Withee, WI to Evald & Caroline Ammentorp. She was baptized and confirmed at the Danish Lutheran Church in Withee. She attended Moody School and graduated from Withee High School in 1944. She then attended Eau Claire business school for one year where she learned secretarial skills including bookkeeping. Amy was married to Henry Mauel Jr. on June 2, 1950 at Holy Rosary Catholic Church. They were active members of Holy Rosary for the rest of their lives. Henry and Amy were happily married for 61 years and blessed with 14 children. In 1957, they built their home in a new neighborhood in Owen. Amy lived in that home until her death on April 10, 2023 where she was surrounded by her children.
In 1960, Hank & Amy took over Mauel’s Dairy from his parents and built a new plant on Highway X. Amy took over the bookkeeping and worked from home until the youngest girls went to school. Amy was also active in the Parish Council of Catholic Women. She joined Bridge Club shortly after she married and played for the next 70 years. After the kids were older, she joined golf and bowling teams.
Amy’s priority was her family. As the middle child of a family of 7, she always enjoyed taking care of her younger brothers. As a Mom, she encouraged children to be involved in summer programs and activities. She enjoyed attending their sporting events and concerts and encouraged all her children to attend college or vocational school. She continued supporting her 25 grandchildren and attended all their special events. She loved cooking for everyone and spending holidays together.
Amy was proceeded in death by her husband Hank, her son Bob, her parents Evald & Caroline, her brother Roy (Marian) Ammentorp, Sisters: Ruth (Roger) Wolfram, Marian (Hank) Haas, her sister-in-laws: Shirley Ammentorp, and Barb Ammentorp.

The family would like to thank Promedic Hospice for their care and guidance. A very special Thank You to Sharon Laube Scheinost, and Barb Lehnen Issacs for their wonderful care.
