Amy Thorneloe
1989-2023
Amy "Bunny" Katrin Thorneloe passed away peacefully on October 19, 2023, at the age of 34.
Beloved daughter of Steven and Karen of Lennoxville, and little sister to Eric (Donna) of Brisbane, she lived much longer than ever expected, almost all of that time at home. Recently, she had moved into a private home in Sherbrooke where she received the best of care, but was unable to fight off another bout of pneumonia.
Amy attended the Lennoxville Elementary School, the Dixville Daycare Centre in Lennoxville, and then the École du Touret in Sherbrooke, where she loved floating in the heated pool. Though she never grew to be very big, her main passion was eating, especially dessert. She also loved hearing the children's song "Mary Had a Little Lamb", which would always command her full attention, and she would expect to hear all six verses.
Amy was predeceased by her grandparents Richard and Aubéline (Lessard) Thorneloe of Marbleton, and Earle and Carol (Jameson) Hobbs of Lennoxville, and by her aunt Sharon (Heath) Thorneloe. She is survived by her aunts and uncles, Bill Thorneloe (Karen MacLeod), Ken and JoAnn (Thorneloe) Edgecombe and Marilyn Hobbs Turner, as well as many cousins.
Our family is so thankful to all those who helped care for her over her lifetime, especially Shannon Thorne in her early years, and later on, Ethel Page. We are also especially grateful to Pascale Boulet and Danielle Létourneau who took over her complete care in her final months, and to Dr. Élyse Grégoire, the CLSC caregivers, and the Centre de Réadaptation de l'Estrie.
Visitation will be held at the Cass Funeral Home, Lennoxville on Sunday, Nov. 12 at 10:00 am, with a short service at 11:00 am, followed by a luncheon at the funeral home, and internment of ashes at Malvern Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Amy to the Association Québécoise du syndrome de Rett, the Dixville Foundation, or the charity of your choice, would be greatly appreciated by the family.
Watch the ceremonyOur deepest and sincerest condolences in the passing your sweet Amy, may she rest in peace. Carol always spoke with such fondness of her granddaughter when we worked together years ago in ICU and of such admiration of you two as loving and caring parents.
Our sympathies to you. Amy was such a sweet girl. May she rest in peace
Love,
Diane and George

Sincères condoléances de notre part, Diane et moi. Nous avons toujours en mémoire le sourire aimant et enjoué qu'elle nous offrait lorsque nous l'avons connue.
My deepest condolences on the passing of Amy. I fondly remember all the time I spent with Amy years ago. From going out for walks, watching her favourite shows/songs, to the day trip she took with Sara and I to my parents place for Easter one year. Her smile and sparkle in her eyes will never be forgotten. Thinking of you all at this difficult time.
