Amy Estelle Hansmann (Wilde)

A SPECIAL NOTE FROM AMY: “God blessed me and my family with many loving friends and neighbors who have provided meals, prayers, anointing, and food during my journey. Thank you for the kind priests and deacons who have celebrated Mass at our home and while I was in the hospital. Thank you also to so many who helped with rides to doctors, picked up kids, brought meals, sent gift cards, bought groceries, and most of all, prayed for me and my family. –Amy” LIFE STORY Amy Estelle Hansmann “Aimers” Amy was born in St. Paul, Minnesota on December 19, 1969 to Cecilia (nee Kukla) and Arthur Wilde.
