Obituary - Amy Christine York Durrette

Amy Christine York Durrette, 50, of Henrico, passed away on Saturday, August 28, 2021. She was born on Friday, January 15, 1971.

She is survived by her parents, Bryan S. York and Christine S. York; husband, David W. Durrette, Sr.; children, David W. Durrette, Jr., Hannah C. Durrette, and Rachel E. Durrette all of Henrico; brothers, Michael B. York (Angel) of Henrico and Ty E. York (Jaime) of New Kent.

Amy received a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Teaching Degree from Virginia Commonwealth University in May of 1994. She worked for Henrico County Public Schools and was affiliated with Landmark Baptist Church and Four Mile Creek Baptist Church.

Amy was a devoted wife, mother, daughter, teacher, and friend who brought so much joy to all who knew her. Her contagious smile could immediately brighten a room and her love for her family was an example for all to emulate. She loved the Lord and served him in many different ways. She cared for and supported her husband and children and kept a Christian home. She was a great daughter to her mother and father and honored them. In her life, she constantly displayed and expressed her love for children, her own children, as well as the students that she taught throughout her two-decade career as a teacher. She taught and cared for hundreds of young students providing them with the necessary tools to be both successful in their education and Christian life. Amy valued the many friendships that she made throughout her life and considered most as an extension of her own family. In the Bible class she taught, she emphasized the verse Psalm 34:8-13, which says, “O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in Him.” Because of her faith in Christ’s finished work on the cross, Amy was not only able to live a life of joy here on earth, but is now doing so in the presence of her Savior. To God be the glory.
