Ami was born in Enid, Oklahoma on September 22, 1975, the daughter of Albert O. and Shirley (Branson) Whitlow. She grew up in the Weatherford, OK area, having graduated from high school there. She then went on to college at Northeastern Oklahoma State University, in Tahlequah, OK, earning her Bachelor's Degree, thus enabling her pursuit of her professional passion… teaching. She had most recently been a special education teacher at the Jenks Freshman Academy, before her illness forced her to take a break from teaching. Ami loved her students, and co-workers. She was proud to be a Jenks Trojan, and a part of the Jenks Public School family. Ami loved to run. She enjoyed participating in various marathons, earning medals for her participation. As much as she enjoyed teaching and running, her true joy came from her family. The love Ami had for her husband, their children, her parents, siblings, nieces, nephews, and numerous other family members and many friends was unparalleled. Her legacy of love will live on in each one of them.
