She made her home in Iola where she was born and raised. She owned and operated Amber Weide Daycare out of her home for 10 years helping raise and love many children. She is survived by her daughters of the home, Bayleigh Weide and Khloeigh Shafer, her parents, brothers Eric (Judy) Weide of Iola, Chris (Alicia) Weide of Iola, close friend Chuck Shafer of Iola, many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.

On November 3, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. Amber was baptized at the in-patient unit at Harry Hynes Memorial Hospice in Wichita, Kansas. Amber lived her life for her children, they were her joy. Amber was loved by everyone and time will not heal our broken hearts. She fought her battle with Ewings Sarcoma for eight years with grace and courage, always smiling and never complaining. A stronger woman we will never meet. Visitation will be Friday, Nov. 8th from 6-8p.m. at Waugh-Yokum & Friskel Chapel in Iola.
