GILLESPIE, Amber Nicole
Amber Nicole Gillespie, born March 6, 1985, Las Cruces, NM, went to her eternal rest November 17, 2015. Amber is many things to many people, but she is a light to all she encountered.
Amber grew up in New Mexico and moved to San Antonio, TX in 1996. She went on to become a member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of 2007.
Amber is survived by her parents, Dwight and Amy Gillespie of San Antonio; sister, Jennifer Franz (Ricky) and her most beloved niece, Kenna Lily Nicole of Georgetown, TX; as well as numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. She leaves behind her cherished dogs, Shiloh
and Bailey. She is predeceased by her grandparents, as well as several aunts and uncles.
Per her wishes, a "Celebration of Awesomeness" will be planned for a future date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to: Amber Gillespie Memorial Fund at Wells Fargo Bank - this will fund a First Descents scholarship; deposits can be made directly at
Wells Fargo bank or please mail checks (made payable to Jennifer Franz) directly to Jennifer. Donations to the Breast Cancer Resource Center, National Breast Cancer Coalition, or your local animal rescue are also welcome.
