Amy Benner

July 25, 1983 ~
October 15, 2024

It is with great sadness that we announce the calling home to be with her Lord, Amy Jo Ann Benner on October 15, 2024, at the age of 41. Amy was born and raised in Hudsonville, Michigan, to Joseph and Mary Ann LaCosse. She was a beloved wife to her husband, Jon Benner; daughter to her parents; mother of her two children, Isabella and Aiden Silva; sister to Rachael, Kristen, Andrew, Joey; and aunt to Angel, Maggie, Eli, and Lily.

Amy was known for being proudly authentic, endlessly creative, and devoted as she took great pride in her career managing Changing Thymes. She was filled with tenderness, unconditional love, and acceptance of everybody, as she made it her mission in life to assure her loved ones were filled with confidence, pure happiness, and comfort at all times. Amy enjoyed spending quality time with her family and friends, and practicing her incredibly strong, eager, and passionate relationship with the Lord.

Amy is best described as spontaneous, yet reserved, eternally considerate, charismatic, and bravely ambitious, as she was well known to set goals and achieve them consistently, exceed expectations of how to love fiercely, and was astonishingly beautiful.

Amy Benner, a beacon of kindness, love, and pure joy, will forever reside in our hearts. Her legacy will continue to inspire and guide many, as we grasp the loss of her physical presence. 

Funeral services will be held on Monday, October 21, at 11 a.m. at Matthysse Kuiper DeGraaf Funeral Home (Grandville) 4145 Chicago Dr. SW with Rev. David Porath officiating. Relatives and friends may visit with the family on Monday from 10-11 a.m. prior to the service at the funeral home. Those who wish may make memorial contributions to Jon Benner to assist with the financial needs of their children.

I did not (personally) know Amy. I do know she made my (son found) son Jon a very happy man. I know they made a great couple and Jon loves her very much. When he spoke his smile gave it away. Thank You Amy for fulfilling Jon’s life for 14 beautiful years. Jon will miss your love n kindness. He loves your children as his children. I pray they will stay the family you joined together. RIP Amy. I can’t wait to meet you (someday) at the gates of heaven.

I am deeply saddened by the news of your passing Amy. You were just a kid, we were just kids when you fell in love with my brother. You were truly an amazing young woman who just wanted to make everyone happy. You and your family not only welcomed my brother as your family you also extended that to myself and Antonia. You and your family gave us a family as well and I am truly grateful for that, you were a sister so many of my memories you were apart of and this hurts. When I shared the news with Antonia she instantly had flash backs of her childhood in your mothers kitchen making crafts. You made it to my baby Selah 1st birthday. Your hospitality and kind heart was endless, I am so sad for Bella and Adien. You gave me a teal Bible the last time I saw you and I will treasure that!! Love always Misty 😢

Amy went to the same school as me, a year ahead of me. We connected at Changing Thymes and realized this. We chatted over the years and over the past year she had been so kind to me after finding out my husband had cancer. She was so empathetic and warm, calm and such a good listener. She very recently helped me move booths and I will think of her often when I restock my booth. She will be greatly missed. I send my condolences to all of her loved ones.
