IN MEMORIAM

Amy Jane (MacGregor) Rose, 57,

Dies 3 Months After Cancer Found

Amy Jane Rose

BURLINGTON – Amy Jane (MacGregor) Rose, 57, an accomplished artist and eldercare professional, passed away on Tuesday, Jan. 19, 2021, at Cooperstown Center, three months after her unexpected diagnosis of Stage IV brain cancer.

Amy was born in Huntington, L.I., on Oct. 13, 1963, to Margaret Winifred Kampf MacGregor. She was one of six brothers and sisters who grew up as free-range children roaming the woods and creeks of Hartwick. The only house rules were to look after those smaller than yourself - whether children or animal - and to be home for dinner before the streetlights flickered on. During these adventures, Amy developed her love of exploration, co-existence in harmony with nature, and an understanding of the value of cultivating close loving relationships with friends and family.
