Amelie married Lloyd Gross on October 16th, 1969 in Farmersville, Texas.
Soon after coming to the United States she was overwhelmed with the different religions; she said a prayer to God and the next morning a couple of Witness' knocked on her door and from then on, she dedicated her faith to Jehovah.
Amelie was a strong, natural athlete in swimming and gymnastics. Her pastime hobbies included bowling, knitting, and painting along with spending time with her six grandchildren. Anyone that came over to the house, whether a stranger or friend, would be offered a fresh pot of coffee and Belgium chocolates she kept in stock.
