There is a big hole in the world. There used to be a woman who wanted to hear what was going on with you. Amy was a good listener and knew what was going on in your life. She did not forget anything you told her about what was on your mind. She wasn’t a gossip. She inquired because she cared about you. Amy was fun. She was a good friend and a good sport. Many stories will be told about her escapades – growing up in Harrison, fun at Miami University, her bad driving, the Round Bar, and trips with dear friends and family across the globe. She enjoyed an evening walk for exercise with her friends. She went to the trainer on Saturday mornings and made it fun. And when we think of these times, we see her smile. We hear her laugh. Amy was smart and dependable. She graduated from Miami University, entered the management training program at Bank One and, while working, went to Capital University Law School at night. Who else do you know who worked for the same company for nearly forty years? Amy was flexible. When Bank One became Chase, she transitioned to new roles and new departments as the situation demanded. Her friends couldn’t keep track of her jobs and bosses, but Amy built deep personal connections with many of them that continue to this day. Amy just kept doing what was needed. And she did it well. Amy was a great mom. She encouraged her kids in their sports activities, in the college search process, and in career pursuits. She encouraged her children in all they pursued. She saw Ben decide that, yes, he would give football a try. She and Jon stepped up to the role of Captain’s parents for Upper Arlington football and gathered friends like magnets. She was a fan of Friday night football. She was excited about his University of Dayton college experience. Through the course of these years, she built relationships with the friends of her children and with their parents. She heard Madeline’s desire to move to California. In February, she helped her lug all of her possessions across the country in order to peruse her dreams of living in Los Angeles. She helped her get ready for her first day of her new job. Amy loved her family. When her parents needed assisted living, they came to Columbus. Amy felt their needs as if they were her own. She sought out the best care and brought extra resources to bear in supporting their quality of life. As Jon’s parents needed care, she included them in dinners at her home and brought Betty Lou to the homes of friends. She joined Betty Lou Furash for musical performances. She insisted in Sunday night dinners with her parents and her in-laws. Her love was palpable. Amy loved and was so proud of her sisters. Her friends knew as much about them as we knew about Amy because she kept us informed of their lives. Amy was always welcoming people into her home. The Furash Halloween parties were legendary. On New Year’s Eve, she exceeded expectations and organized games and a gift exchange with exquisite food and great drinks. Every year, there were more people at the parties because Amy was always expanding the circle. Her every instinct was to be inclusive. She was not one to draw the circle tighter. It would have pained her to exclude anyone. It pains us that she has left us. There is a big hole in the world. ____________________________________________________ Amy Romohr Furash 1960 - 2020 Amy Furash, age 59, of Upper Arlington, died May 13th, at her residence.
