Amelia Walton Williams of Meriden, CT, beloved wife of Gary P. Gamble III, passed away on January 13, 2024. She was born on March 22, 1983 to her loving parents Judy Wright and Arthur B. Williams III.

Amy was proud of her farming heritage and her town. She grew organic vegetables that she sold at a market and at Whole Foods. Working for several area growers and agricultural suppliers continued to expand her expertise. She was a long-time member of the CT Farm Bureau and a commissioner on the Orange Conservation Commission. Many friends benefitted from Amy’s help with all things related to gardening.

Devotion to family and friends was very important. Amy was surrounded by an ever-increasing family that provided laughter, adventures, and lots of memories. Beyond the atypical holiday celebrations, there were ample opportunities of travel. Her favorite vacation was being a cowgirl in Montana with her Auntie Barb, mom and Mandy. Amy was always ready to support friends whether it involved her time, trying out new products or just getting others involved. She enjoyed spreading kindness.
Gary came into her life in 2019 and their partnership was magical. Amy found that special person who provided love, comfort and understanding. They created their own adventures, doing things their way. A COVID wedding, weekend get aways, and unique dining experiences gave them lots to talk about. Their four-legged baby, Rosie, was a great addition.
