Amy Lynne (Howard) Stanton
1979-2017

WATERVILLE — Amy Lynne (Howard) Stanton, 38, of Waterville, passed away unexpectedly due to cardiac arrest Thursday, Sept. 14, 2017, at Inland Hospital, with her loving family by her side. She was born March 21, 1979, in Waterville, the daughter of Della (Coro) Howard and Henry Howard and biological father, Richard Nye.

The beloved mother of Jerron and Joey Jr. was a lifelong Waterville resident and attended Waterville public schools.

Her most favorite things were to be surrounded by the love and laughter of her family and friends, especially the joy of her world, her son Joey. She loved all of her fur babies, was a frog collector and enjoyed going for rides “anywhere.”

She carried a smile and laugh that was so contagious, it immediately filled any room. She was a rock and a beacon in the lives of the many people she cared for. Her kindred, unique heart and once-in-a-lifetime sass will be immensely loved, deeply missed and forever cherished.

Amy is survived by her son, Joey Stanton Jr., of Waterville; mother, Della (Coro) Moulton-Howard of Waterville; “second dad,” Henry Howard of Brunswick; two sisters, Jamie (Howard) Maheu and husband, Rick, of Waterville, Julie (Rowe) Courtney and husband, Amos, of North Anson; two brothers, Scott Stratton and partner, Holly Reed, of Waterville, Rickey Nye of Fairfield; three aunts, Opal Irwin and husband, David, of Waterville, Darlene Mosley of Winslow, Regina Breard and husband, Darryl, of Waterville; three uncles, Steven Nye and wife Diana, Tim Nye and Jerry Nye all of Waterville; nine nephews, Allen Libby, Dylan Stratton, James Howard-Millett, Christopher Reed, Andrew Reed, Bryan Reed, Eric Fagan, Gage Mower, Cruz Hamilton; three nieces, Kelsey Cloutier, Hannah Healy, Savannah Maheu; three cousins, Tabitha Bragdon, Patricia Irwin, Desiree Campbell and partner David Wyman, all of Waterville; several other beloved cousins; her many cherished “little minions”; special friends Tori Hamilton and husband, Robert, of Winslow, Melissa Hardy and fiancé, Mark Leighton, of New Auburn.

She was predeceased by her son, Jerron Tremayne Stanton; biological father, Richard Nye; grandmothers Elizabeth Miller and Alice Nye; uncles Kevin and David Miller; aunt Melissa Rowe and a niece, Pearl Mower.

A celebration of life will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 7, at the Waterville Elks Lodge 76 Industrial St.
