On May 11th, 2025, Amy Conrad –mother, daughter, sister, wife, friend, best friend— passed away from complications of a long-term fight with cancer. Amy was 56 at the time of her passing. Amy was born in Catonsville and lived her entire life in Maryland.
Amy was preceded in death by her parents John Henry (Jack) Conrad and Anna (Anne) Marie Conrad (nee Wenzler). Amy is survived by Michael Chirozzi (Husband), Grace Chirozzi (Daughter) as well as her siblings, Susan Cross (Richard, Husband, Amanda and Keri), David Conrad (Kittima, Wife) and Mary Conrad (Benjamin and Emily).
Amy attended Notre Dame Preparatory High School and went on to graduate from Loyola College, Maryland with a double major in Philosophy and Political Science. Post graduation, Amy earned her law degree from the University of Baltimore, passing the Maryland Bar in 1994.
Amy practiced law –full time and part time-- for 19 years before taking a position at St. Louis Catholic School in Clarksville, MD, first as a teacher’s aide and then in the business office.
Amy was full of joy, full of life, full of love and full of faith. Anyone who met Amy, even for the briefest of moments, would know that she was happy. Her smile radiated that happiness to all around her.
Amy was caring. She always put the wellbeing of others ahead of her own. She loved surprises, especially surprising others. Any occasion was an occasion for a gift in her eyes. Little acts of kindness, a birthday wish or simply taking the time to have a conversation or sharing a moment were things that came naturally to Amy.
Above all, it was Amy’s faith that permeated through all that she did. She had a very strong belief. She felt God’s presence. She knew how to pray.
Amy is in heaven. It’s where she wanted to be. She is happy. While saddened, we rejoice knowing that she is in God’s loving hands.
As sadness converts to joyous memories, Amy will live on in all of us that knew her and loved her.
