Amy Lea Harney of Rosedale, IN, has passed away, leaving behind a family and community who loved her dearly.
These words are offered in her memory — small, but heartfelt.
Amy held deeply to the Baptist faith — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew her best.
The community of faith holds its own well — and Amy was held.
ROSEDALE– Amy Adams Harney, 58, of Rosedale, Indiana passed away Monday morning, May 4, 2026, at Clinton Gardens, with hospice and nursing care, following a courageous battle with cancer.
She was born January 26, 1968, in Terre Haute, Indiana, to Ted Adams and Judy Adams, arriving just after a 15-inch snowstorm at Union Hospital.
Amy was a proud member of the first graduating class of Riverton Parke High School in 1987 and received the first diploma given by the school. She spent many years working at Billie Creek Inn. In later years, she worked in housekeeping and as a groundskeeper at Friendly Grove Baptist Church.
She is survived by her daughter, Dakota Harney; mother, Judy Adams; brother, David (Vickie) Adams; stepdaughter, Brittany Harney Nikolas and family; stepson, Cody Harney and daughter, Kenley Harney; nephew, Wes (Amber) Adams; niece, Andrea Adams (Chad Quinn); and great-nieces, Reese and Demi Adams.
She was preceded in death by her father, Ted Adams; her grandparents; and her uncle, Fred Bisiaux.
Amy was baptized in the creek outside of Rosedale and was a member of Rosedale Baptist Church at that time. She had a deep love for animals, especially her many beloved dogs.
A private burial, with prayer by Perry Mager, will be held at Rosedale Cemetery at a later date.
The family would like to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers during these past months.
Arrangements entrusted to the care of Cottrell-Gooch Funeral Home, Rosedale.
