Описание: Esther Amelia "Amy" Sherrard
October 28, 1917 - February 2, 2022

Amy Sherrard, the author of My Bible First children's curriculum, quietly passed away on February 2, 2022.

She was born in the New England area, the only child of Roby and Mable Hubley. She spent her formative years with her missionary parents first in Nova Scotia, Canada, then in India and Burma. Later, as an adult, she and her husband returned to Asia and spent 20 years divided between the Philippines and Singapore. On their return to the United States, she worked as a nurse and health educator in Southern California. On retirement, she moved with her husband to Wichita, KS to be with their three grandchildren. While in Wichita, she started the CHIP for churches. She remained involved in this ministry for many years. At the age of 80, she embarked on probably her most important work: writing Bible lessons for primary age children. This ministry rapidly grew into what is now My Bible First and has brought thousands of children all over the world to Jesus.

She is survived by her two daughters: Sherry (Phil) Mills and Dena (George) Guthrie; three grandchildren: Rachel (Eric) Nelson, Ruthie (Joe) Reeves, and Philip (Lindsey) Mills; five great grandchildren: Amy and Michael Nelson, Hudson and Joanna Reeves, and Chloe Mills; and an adopted granddaughter Heidi (Ransey) Aneo and her four children: Dallas, Marcilena, David, and Bre'anna.
