She proudly served in the United States Navy for four years, where she developed a strong sense of discipline and camaraderie that she carried throughout her life. Amy had a passion for gardening and could often be found planting flowers and keeping her yard pristine. Her love for nature was reflected in her stunning gardens, which were a source of joy not only for her but also for those who had the pleasure of seeing them. Along with her many passions, she found immense joy listening to music, and she loved to dance. She filled her home with music that resonated with her soul, often dancing with joy as she celebrated life's moments, both big and small. Music brought her an immense sense of happiness, and her love for music added an extra spark to her vibrant personality. In addition to her green thumb and her love for music, Amy delighted in arts and crafts, pouring her creativity into projects that brought happiness to herself and others. A true dog lover, she enjoyed spending quality time with her furry companions, who were a constant source of comfort and companionship. Above all, Amy treasured her family and friends. She loved gathering loved ones in her home, hosting heartwarming get-togethers at every available opportunity. Her home was adorned with family photos, holding dearly to the memories that shaped her life and the relationships she cherished deeply. Her spirit will live on in the hearts of her family, friends, and the community she so dearly loved. She is survived by her loving husband, Jeff Cheney of Etta, Mississippi; her parents, James and Sally Cassidy McChesney of Oxford, Mississippi; her daughter, Alexandria Tidwell (William) of Chicago, Illinois; her son, Ethan Tidwell (Brittany) of Oxford, Mississippi; three sisters, Lisa McChesney-Harris and Beth Moody of Vernon Hills, Illinois, and Meg Pearson (Lewis) of Flora, Mississippi; and her three brothers, Dan McChesney (Colleen) of Oxford, Mississippi, Tom McChesney (Angie) of Halltown, Missouri, and Matthew McChesney (Kara) of Dallas, Texas.
