It is with broken hearts that we share the passing of our sweet Katrina Elizabeth Amero. Katrina was born in Federal Way, WA on 5/26/89 and passed away unexpectedly on 7/31/2023. She was 34 years old. Her son Henry was the joy and light of her life amid her struggles to find purpose and friendship. Katrina leaves behind immediate family, Her Father, Lynol Amero of Vancouver, Canada, Mother, Holly Amero of Windsor, Colorado, 4 year old son Henry Amero of Windsor, CO, Sister and brother in law Telisha & David Quezada of Loveland, Colorado, Brother & Sister in law Jaeden & Sachi Amero of Abu Dhabi & Grandma Nita Hallstrom in California . She also has many cousins, aunts, and uncles who will miss her. Katrina struggled to get through college with a learning disability & was so proud that she graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology & a minor in Criminal justice . She loved the crime mystery shows that explained solving real murders. Katrina created a business in 2020 “The Aloha Life” a food truck where she created the Hawaiian food menu & did catering as well as local park events & farmers markets . She loved people & her customers were treated royally often returning for her fall special of hot cider or her summer special of homemade fruit syrups in lemonade. She sold the business in 2022 as it had grown & was too much prep work with Henry. Katrina enjoyed working in hospital food services where she didn’t have to bring work home with her and loved serving the patients. Always serving with a smile on her face . She loved to feed people and sent people home with food often or giving away garden produce . Katrina served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in 2010/11 to Bangkok, Thailand and Galveston, Texas. She had an intense love for Thai food and loved telling people about her time in Thailand . The sewer system & bugs in Thailand freaked her out. Katrina loved pickles of all kinds and her mother is finding quite the collection of pickles in the refrigerator. Katrina would put hot sauce & red pepper flakes on just about everything she ate . Katrina was her Moms traveling buddy enjoying many annual trips to Hawaii and shared her Moms love of water . Katrina volunteered many hours at the local food banks and absolutely loved to educate people on services available to them in their time of need. She never judged them & was always incredibly helpful to share a recipe or idea for surplus food. She would talk to anyone that would listen & neighbors knew her as the friendly lady with the beautiful smile. Katrina was a sweet little girl often saying “This is the best day ever!” with her giggling little body . She gave Mom the spoon rest that says “BEST DAY EVER”. We will love Katrina forever and Miss her for always . Her happy smile lives on through her son Henry. We hope she is having the best day ever in Heaven !
