It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Amy Fair, a woman of boundless compassion for others and endless love for her family. Through her short journey of 66 years, she touched many lives with her friendship, kindness and unwavering catholic devotion. Amy was born on April 3, 1959 and was welcomed into Heaven on December 16, 2025. Amy had a passion for giving back to her community and was deep rooted in a town she cared about. Volunteering at the food pantry, making crafts with kids at the local Bement Day celebrations and being sure to be the house that gave out king size candy bars for Halloween were important to her because it made others happy.
Amy is preceded in death by her sister, Laurie Gallivan and her parents, Margaret and Jerry Gallivan. She is survived by her husband of 48 years, John Fair, her siblings, sister, Beth Chenevey and brother, Joe Gallivan, and her two children, Jesse Fair and Julie Wright as well as her daughter-in-law, Tosha Fair and son-in-law, Jesse Wright. Additionally, her grandchildren, Jackson and Jameson Wright and Peyton and Aubrey Fair who were the light of her life. Her remarkable life will forever be an inspiration.
We extend our heartfelt sympathies to all that mourn Amy. She will be greatly missed and forever remembered.
Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 1:00 P.M., on Saturday, January 3, 2026, at St. Joseph's Catholic Church, Ivesdale, IL. Father Patrick O'Brien and Deacon Jim Brewer will officiate. Visitation will be held from 9:30 A.M. to 12:30 P.M., also on Saturday, January 3, 2026, at the Hinds Funeral Home, 348 N. Piatt St., Bement. Amy loved flowers and plants.
