Cameron Forbes; civil rights activities; working for the American Friends Service Committee; doing as much with dance and music as possible; land conservation; travel hither and thither; not to mention cows, grasses & word origins to pick but a few of her many, many interests and activities. Describing the breadth of her interests and activities throughout her life would take far more space than we have here.Amelia is survived by daughter Suzanna Thomas, her grandchildren Samara (John) Fangman, Louis (Ayuko) Berk, Eli Berk, Lynn Puckett, Tor (Amy) Puckett, her three great-grandchildren, Sophia and Eli Fangman and Walter Puckett, several nieces and nephews, and numerous beloved cousins, quite a few of whom are also named Amelia.A small memorial will be held in the coming weeks in Wyoming, and a gathering for extended family and friends is planned for next summer on the east coast.Kane Funeral Home has been entrusted with arrangements.
