Amy Dee Below

Amy Dee Below, 64, of Port Clinton, OH passed unexpectedly away Monday, November 25, 2024 at Magruder Hospital, Port Clinton, OH. She was born on February 10, 1960 in Grand Rapids, MI to Doug and Lyda (Perkins) Maytham. Amy graduated from Port Clinton High School in 1978 and went on to earn a bachelor’s degree from attending both Terra Community College and Bowling Green State University. On November 1, 1980 in Port Clinton, OH she married David A. Below, and he survives. Amy worked as a college advisor for Terra Community College for 33 years. After retiring from there, she worked as a volunteer coordinator for the Salvation Army and also for EHOVE for 5 years.

Amy had a passion for the arts. She enjoyed painting, sculpting, and gardening. Amy also enjoyed going thrift shopping and looking for items that she thought others could use. She spent time a lot of her free time doing community service and volunteering. She was a very generous and giving person. Her grandkids, sisters, and friends were a big part of her life. Amy was a member of Nugent’s Canal Yacht Club, Middle Bass Island Yacht Club, and the Titty Tuesday Club. She was known to be lucky winning different raffle contests. Amy will be greatly missed as a partner and as always having a positive attitude and being a big ball of guiding light for others. Her laughter, random non-sensical text messages or group messages you didn’t ask to be on will now be really missed.

In addition to her loving husband, David, of 44 years, Amy is survived by her daughters, Hanna (Nick Ollervides) Below and Leah (Austin Turner) Below, grandchildren, Rylen Turner, Frankie Ollervides, Griffin Turner, and Beau Ollervides, siblings, Cindy James, Jodi Cooper, Julie Bise, and Scott Maytham, and many friends and extended family. She was preceded in death by her parents.
