Amy Marie (Vojtech) Beran

After a courageous 18-month battle with cancer, Amy M. Beran (50 years old), passed away September 7, 2018 at her home in Sachse, Texas surrounded by her Loving Family.

Amy was born March 26, 1968 in Fremont, NE to Joe and Mignon (Kammerer) Vojtech. She grew up in Fremont and had the privilege of attending Archbishop Bergan High School where she graduated in 1986. While there she had the joy of going to school with her sister, Tanya, having her father as a teacher, playing the flute in the band, being on the drill team, singing in swing choir, and watching her father coach her future husband in football.

Amy attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where she graduated in 1990 with a degree in Speech Communications with a minor in Business. She later worked in Human Resource positions, being a caregiver through home healthcare, and enjoyed her long-time role as a Mary Kay Cosmetics Consultant.

Amy married her high school sweetheart, Steve Beran, on June 9, 1990. After college graduation they started their lives together in Lenexa, Kansas where their family grew with the births of their two sons, Zach in 1994, and Nathan in 1995. They were fortunate to eventually move back home to Nebraska in 1997 where she enjoyed being active in her church St. Vincent De Paul Parish as a cantor and other volunteer activities. Steve and Amy moved to Sachse, Texas in 2014.

Being active in her boys' lives was very important to Amy. She was an active volunteer at school activities and functions and was President of the Skutt Band Booster Club. Amy was a volunteer for MDA, Special Olympics, St. Vincent DePaul Society, and Salvation Army. She enjoyed participating in her Beta Sigma Phi Sorority in both Nebraska and Texas. She also loved participating and leading Bible Study groups in Nebraska and Texas.
