Amber Marie

January 27, 1987 - April 3, 2021

With very heavy hearts and sadness, we announce the passing of Amber Marie Ohlhauser on April 3, 2021. Amber was born on January 27, 1987 in Drumheller, Alberta. She leaves to mourn the loss her father and mother, Kim Ohlhauser and Patricia Berlando. Amber is survived by her sister, Crystal Magee of Red Deer and brother Frank Magee of Red Deer. Many cousins, aunts and uncles are suffering her loss, and all have very fond memories of her. She was predeceased by her grandparents Virginia and Ed Ohlhauser, David and Norma Chayer, Uncle Archie Ohlhauser, Aunt Joanne Ohlhauser.
Amber spent her early years growing up in Carbon and Drumheller. She is a free spirit and in her short life went far and wide to experience life in a way like no other. Many questions were always on her mind and she had a curiosity about life, how things worked and why things were the way they were. She never stopped looking for answers. Her carefree ways made it possible for her to connect with people and establish both fleeting and lifelong relationships.
Amber loved and was loved and as she wished she will fly with the eagles. She will be missed but not forgotten.
Unfortunately, currently, we are unable to gather and celebrate her life. A family gathering will take place at a later date when it is safe to do so. Her final resting place will be with her grandparents in Mountain View Cemetery.
