Amy Lynn Kennah-Ricketts
After an almost five-year battle with ovarian cancer, Amy Lynn Kennah-Ricketts (nee Blemker), 52, of Pearland TX, went to be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on May 11th, 2025. She was born on April 27th, 1973 in East Chicago, Indiana.
Amy spent her early years in Highland, Indiana before relocating with her family for her formative years in Casper, Wyoming. After studying at Casper College in Wyoming, Amy graduated from Jacksonville State University with a degree in Communication and a Minor in Theater.
Amy is survived by her husband Sean Ricketts; parents Gene and Carol Sera; daughters Annukah Parsley (Cody), KaCi Kennah, and Emmerie Ricketts; sister Beth Scheckel (Ryan); granddaughter Lucy Parsley; nephew Ridley Scheckel and niece Britton Scheckel.
She will be best remembered by her love of family, her faith, her infectious laugh, and her generous spirit. She found great joy in working with kids in theater, developing their confidence in public speaking and acting, as well as helping to lead children to Christ. She volunteered in numerous endeavors, including as a board member and stage director for Kids’ Backporch Productions, teaching students at Awana, and as a Master of Ceremonies for Vacation Bible School.
There will be a visitation from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Friday, May 16th, 2025, with a Funeral service at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, May 17th, both at Shadycrest Baptist Church, 3017 Yost Blvd., Pearland, TX 77581. Pastor Tyler McKinney will be officiating.

Dear Sean, extremely sorry to hear of the sad news of Amy’s passing away. My heartfelt condolences to you and rest of your family. Pray that the Almighty give you all the courage to face this unsurmountable loss. May the departed Soul rest in eternal peace. My thoughts and prayers have always been with you and will continue to do so. Deepest sympathies my dear friend, praying for your family.
Sorry that I am unable to attend the visitation nor the funeral service, since I will be out of town until Monday.
With deepest sympathies.
Sean,
I was deeply saddened to hear about your wife’s passing. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. I know there are no words that can truly ease the pain of such a loss, but I want you to know that you are not alone.
In times like these, I find comfort in the promises of God. Scripture reminds us in Psalm 34:18, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” I pray that you feel His presence surrounding you with peace and strength in the days ahead.
Amy was a beautiful soul, and her faith and kindness has touched so many lives. I believe she is now in the presence of our Savior, where there is no more pain, only joy and eternal peace.
Please know that I am praying for you and your family.
With love and in Christ,
Danny Ayala
