Amy Louise Stus

Amy Louise Stus, 43, passed away October 24, 2017, of complications from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Amy was born July 9, 1974, in Marysville, Kansas, to George G. and Rose Marie Stauffer. She grew up on the family farm west of Frankfort, Kansas. After graduating Frankfort High School, she attended Bethany College at Lindsborg, Kansas, obtaining her bachelor's degree, followed by earning her law degree from Washburn University School of Law, at Topeka, Kansas. Even though Amy practiced law in several locations, her focus was always directed at defending children and families. No matter where she was located, Amy always stayed true to family law because fighting for children and families was her passion. Amy loved to travel. Her last job took her to Sitka, Alaska, where she was doing what she loved for the Sitka Tribe of Alaska. After being diagnosed with ALS, she returned to Frankfort to be close to family. Amy is survived by her husband Jacob, of Frankfort, and four children: Journey and Braddock, of the home, Bret Kramer and KayLynn Kramer of Topeka; her mother, Rose Marie Stauffer, Frankfort; four sisters, Jeanette Parker (Tom), Castaic, CA; Kathy Rogers (Doug), Frankfort; Jennifer Dix (Gabe), Kensington, KS; Sharon Suppes (Matthew), Salina, KS; three nieces, two nephews, one great-niece, one great-nephew, and numerous aunts and uncles. Amy was preceded in death by her father, George G. Stauffer. A visitation will be held Friday, Nov. 3, 2017, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., at the First Presbyterian Church Hall, located at 508 North Kansas Avenue, Frankfort, Kansas. The family is planning a private graveside service at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family has established the Amy Stus Memorial Fund, 1828 Wildcat Road, Frankfort, Kansas, 66427.
