SIGN GUESTBOOK | ORDER FLOWERS AND GIFTS

Obituary is defined as “a notice of a death usually with a short biographical account”. This one is written by Amy Onsager who lived fully for 53 years and died well on May 5, 2019. I am survived by; seriously it’s not rocket science and, ya’ll know it is everyone who’s breathing today. No funeral “act of observance of a dead person” is planned as I broke tradition to attend while I was still breathing. Let’s face it; you really didn’t want to attend anyway. If you are feeling sad that you missed the party, call one of my family members; David Onsager (husband) Andrew Onsager (son) Emily and Devin Hoffmann (daughter and son-in-law), Myron and Elaine DeGrave (dad and mom), Kelly, Dean and Perry DeGrave (brothers), Mary Onsager (mother-in-law), Lou Ann Fischer (sister-in-law), Mark, Steve, and Pat Onsager (brothers-in-law) or friends (too many to mention) who you think should have been there and chat about it. If you want to give a memorial gift please send it to Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice ssrhospicehome.org supporting their Vision “As a teaching organization dedicated to giving back, we allow people the freedom to live fully and to die well” and Mission “We turn fear into love, patients into people, and caregivers into confident heroes.”

I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you find comfort in Jesus words at John 5:28,29. There Jesus promised a resurrection of our loved ones who have passed away. This beautiful hope can sustain us during times of grief. Please accept my condolences.

I was lucky to work with Amy on 2K. We worked hard but had fun also. She could find joy in many situations. I will never forget making special cookies for a bridal shower and then the shower at her home. Special Lady! God Bless!

My thoughts and prayers to the Onsager family. I had the pleasure of getting to know Amy while I was doing my clinical rotation with HSHS Home Hospice. Not only was she a hoot to be around, she was always happy to give me advice and teach me tricks with nursing practice. I will always hold a special place in my heart for her. I hope she's enjoying endless amounts of sushi and chocolate.
