Amy Marie Draa, 40, of NYC, passed away on Sunday, December 29, 2019 after a three-year battle of ovarian cancer. She was born January 22, 1979 in PA, the daughter of Jerry and Peggy Draa.

Amy grew up in Ohio and moved to NYC after graduating Cum Laude from Ohio State University in 2003.

Amy was a one-of-a-kind unique, special person who made an impression wherever she went. She loved high fashion, traveling around the world, the opera, ethnic food, music, writing, her cat Eden and her family and friends. Throughout her life, Amy had many interests, and due to her charismatic nature, her interests influenced all her family and friends, which were many.

In addition to her parents, who were with her at death, she is survived by her grandparents, June Meikle and Grace Draa, an aunt, uncles and cousins. Tragically, her sister Kari Crawford (Jason) died less than 24 hours later from brain cancer. She lost her aunt, Diane Meikle in May.
Amy will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. A small memorial service will be scheduled in the spring at her final resting place at the Homewood Cemetery in Pittsburgh, PA.

Her family wants to thank Concordia Hospice of Washington, PA for the kind care that Amy received.

Amy, I hope you are at peace. There just are not words. Thoughts and prayers to Jerry and Peggy. I cannot even comprehend the grief of losing both Amy and Kari in so short a time.

I'm so sorry for you loss. My prayers go out to you and your family. And that goes double for you Peggy. I can't imagine loosing two daughters within 24 hrs. Praying for the whole family.

I met Amy once some years ago because of her visit to Amsterdam with Fred my very good friend since a very long time when I was living in Paris my home town. They stayed at our family home back then for several days and yes she was a wonderful lady to meet with. I have no words about this tragedy and my heart goes to her family. It seems that life is definitely not fair whatever our belief is. Rest in peace Amy together with your little sister. All my love. Louva
