Amy Joe Shields, of Marietta, Ohio, formerly of Masury, Ohio, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, April 12, 2016, while in the Emergency Room of Marietta Memorial Hospital. She was 32.

Amy was born July 30, 1983, in Sharon, Pennsylvania, a daughter to Joseph E. & Janice A. (Sinopoli) Sabol.

She graduated in 2001 from Brookfield High School, where she played flute, saxophone, and bassoon in the Marching Band. In addition, she ran track too. Amy furthered her education by receiving a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Education as well as a Master’s Degree in Music Performance & Conducting, both from Youngstown State University.
