Amie Lee (Cobabe) Cobb quietly passed with the morning sunrise at her home in Prescott Valley, Arizona on Sunday May 1, 2016, at the age of 42, due to complications from cancer treatments, which she had endured with grace and courage since her early childhood.

Her decision to cease treatment allowed friends and loved ones to say a final good-bye, which was a touching experience for all who were able to participate. Many family and friends will long cherish the experiences of the week preceding her passing.

Amie is survived by her husband of nearly 25 years, Gordon Burl Cobb; and her children, Ian Joseph 19 and Courtnie Jean Cobb 14. She is also survived by her loving parents, Fredrick William and Valerie Jean Cobabe; and her brothers, Bill, Andy, Josh and Alex; and sisters, Michelle Loosli and Lindsey Livingston, along with their spouses; and many nieces and nephews.

Amie was born July 2, 1973 in Torrance, California. She graduated from Mountain View High School in Orem, Utah in 1990 and went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in Music Education from Brigham Young University in 1995. At BYU, she toured many countries as a member of the Synthesis jazz band and the Wind Symphony. She began her teaching career as a music teacher in the Chandler Unified School District and later in Prescott Valley for the Humboldt Unified School District and held the position of Director of Instrumental Music where she led and taught Marching Band, Orchestra, Guitar, Jazz Band as well as school musicals. She received numerous awards in all areas of music, but always said that the true reward was being a part of the lives of countless young people and inspiring them to reach for excellence and honor.

Amie spent her time in service to her family, school, community and church. She was an avid reader and movie buff and enjoyed crafting, sewing and teaching private music lessons. She was a fierce friend and improved the lives of all who knew her, but her heart always belonged first to her children and she found the greatest joy in being a mother and supporting her children in their endeavors.
Central to Amie’s life was her great faith in her Savior, Jesus Christ. It was through her faith that she faced and conquered countless health challenges throughout her life. Her positive attitude while facing these challenges made her a hero to many and an example to all. Always humble and cheerful, she leaves a legacy of faith, hope, charity and love.

Amie’s life will be remembered and celebrated at a funeral service at 11 a.m. Saturday May 7, 2016, at the Prescott Valley Stake Center of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 7073 Pronghorn Ranch Parkway, Prescott Valley, Arizona. There will be a viewing before the funeral beginning at 9:30 a.m. and a graveside service at Arizona Pioneer Home Cemetery in Prescott immediately following the funeral.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Sunrise Funeral Home assisted the family.

Christ by highest heaven adored, Christ the everlasting Lord!

The purpose of the Book of Mormon is to testify of Christ and bring souls to Him. Who can deny this who have read the book and pondered it's sacred import? My life has been blessed and I have come to know Christ through reading this holy book. I know that Christ lives and loves us. I know He is our Savior and Redeemer. I know that through His merits alone we are saved from an eternity of misery and woe. I know that He died for us. I know He lives for us, advocating our cause before the throne of the Almighty. He is the author and finisher of our faith. He is the Master, the Son of God, the great Jehovah. Blessed and praised be His Holy Name forever and ever! To Him be all glory, honor, and majesty to an eternal day! It is the atonement of Christ - His suffering and subsequent victory - that makes all of this possible. His grace is sufficient for all after all we can do. And make no mistake - we must do all in our power. But through Him and by Him we can and will overcome. I love H

2020 - A retrospective

 There will no doubt be many retrospectives written about the year that was 2020. It was a tough year for most, a good year for many, and generally speaking a very interesting year. Which reminds me of the the old curse - may you live in interesting times. Because, you see - interesting does not always mean good. It does not mean better. It does not mean happy. It just means interesting. So to highlight just how interesting things were, I offer the following post about things that went on. Or didn’t went on. It’s not intended to be chronological, necessarily, or even accurate. It’s just some of my observations.... Let’s start with the pandemic. Pandemic is a word that was previously the realm of science fiction and/or horror writers (The Stand comes to mind). Late 2019 a disease was identified in Wuhan, China, which is a place I’d never heard of before. Apparently coming from some kind of exotic meat market, this strain of Coronavirus was something that the world hadn’t seen before. Ma

Is this thing still on?

 Does anyone even blog anymore? I remember when it first got started and everyone was having a blog. I like writing, and I do a lot of it in my professional life, but not everything makes it onto this blog, which is where a lot of my personal thoughts come out. I put more into Facebook lately, too, because it's a little easier. But there's something to be said for this long-form writing exercise, and I think I will continue here periodically. You don't mind, do you? Well, in my last post I wrote about how difficult things were for me at the time. That changed in July when I finally got a job working for the State of Utah. I was the program manager for the moderate income housing database program, and that meant I worked from home a lot but also went in to Salt Lake when needed, mostly on the train. It was a good experience, for the most part, and I'm grateful for the things I learned even in the short time I was there.  In October I started working for Weber County in t
