Amy Kitturia Lofton

Amy Kittuira Lofton, age 58, of Georgetown, Texas, entered the arms of her Savior on December 5, 2025. Born on May 4, 1967, in Nugent, Texas, to James and Bettye Lofton, Amy lived a life marked by compassion, resilience, and unwavering love for those around her.

Amy graduated from Hardin-Simmons University in 1991 with a Bachelor of Arts and later earned her Master’s in Information Systems Management from the University of Phoenix. She spent many years teaching middle school and high school English in New Mexico and in the Austin area, shaping the minds and hearts of countless students. For the last 18 years, Amy worked at ERCOT as a Manager of Digital Control Management, where she was known for her dedication, intelligence, and steady leadership.

Amy’s legacy continues through her children, Jarrod Ryan Apodaca and Andrea Alexi Apodaca, who were the lights of her life, and through the love of her siblings: Michael and Barbara Lofton of Decatur, TX; Tisha and Scooter Ivy of Nugent, TX; Lester and Trish Lofton of Lawn, TX; and David and Pamela Lofton of Ovalo, TX. She poured her heart into her 11 nieces and nephews and 24 great-nieces and nephews, all of whom adored their “Auntie” and cherished her joyful, generous spirit. She was welcomed into Heaven by her parents, James and Bettye Kennedy Lofton, who preceded her in death.

Amy found joy in sewing, cooking family favorites, and traveling with her family, creating memories that will be treasured for years to come. She was a devoted Christian and longtime member of New Hope First Baptist Church in Cedar Park. Amy lived in a way that reflected her deep love for the Lord; her faith was not only something she believed, but something she lived out daily through service, compassion, and joy.

Her heart for ministry was evident in the many ways she served her church. She traveled on mission trips to share God’s love with others, always eager to lend a hand, offer encouragement, or simply be present where she was needed most. She faithfully helped run the lights and music for worship services, quietly supporting the behind-the-scenes work that made each service meaningful for others. One of her greatest joys was teaching Vacation Bible School, where her enthusiasm, warmth, and playful spirit made her a beloved teacher to countless children over the years.

Above all else, Amy took the greatest pride in being a mother. Jarrod and Lexi were her deepest joy, and she poured her heart into every moment she shared with them. She encouraged, celebrated, protected, and loved them with a fierce and unwavering devotion. To them, she was not just a mother—she was a safe place, a guiding voice, and a constant source of strength and love.

Amy was, without question, one of the strongest souls you could ever meet. To those who loved her most, she was a light in every season of life — a steady presence, a trusted voice, and a best friend. No matter the question or the hour, she had an answer, always offered with confidence, clarity, and love.

Words fall short in describing the depth of love her family holds for her. Amy carried an ethereal grace, a quiet strength, and a steadfast devotion to her Savior. Everything she did, she did with God leading her steps. Even in her darkest moments, her faith never wavered. She radiated light — a light that reached far beyond distance, comforting those she loved with just a few words and a whispered prayer to Jesus.

Amy’s compassion extended to every corner of her life. She cared for her plants and her animals with the same tenderness she gave to her family and friends — tending to each with patience, dedication, and unending love. She was the best kind of mother, not only to her children but to anyone who needed one. Whether person, plant, or animal, Amy nurtured everything placed in her path.

She was truly one of a kind — strong, loving, gentle, and fierce in all the ways that mattered. She cherished her parents deeply, and there is comfort in knowing she is now resting in their arms, watching over those she loved so dearly.

Amy also embraced one of her favorite roles in life: being the “fun Aunt.” She delighted in spoiling her nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and great-nephews, whether through laughter, surprises, thoughtful gifts, or special one-on-one moments. She had a unique way of making each child feel seen, valued, and deeply loved. Her presence brought joy to every family gathering, and her playful, generous spirit will be profoundly missed.

Amy’s warmth, kindness, and faith-filled heart created a ripple effect that touched everyone who knew her. She will be remembered for her gentle strength, her contagious smile, and the way she lived with purpose, compassion, and steadfast love. Her legacy as a mother, sister, aunt, and friend will endure in the lives of those she cherished. She had an extraordinary ability to make each of us feel valued and loved.

May she rest in eternal peace, wrapped in the grace of the One she faithfully served.
