TAFT-HOLLAND, Amber Christina

The Payson Roundup, Payson, Arizona, Friday, August 22, 2014 Amber Christina Taft-Holland November 30, 1981 - August 4, 2014 Amber Christina Taft-Holland was born Nov. 30, 1981, in Mesa, Ariz. and sadly taken from us prematurely on Aug. 4, 2014. Raised by her maternal grandparents, she spent most of her life in Arizona where she was blessed with many friends from all walks of life. She moved to Payson in 2004, and seemingly knows everyone in town. Amber never met a person who wasn’t her friend. She had a heart of gold and would give the shirt off her back to anyone who needed it. Her favorite pastime was singing and she loved karaoke. Amber was a daughter, granddaughter, sister, aunt, cousin, stand-in mother, friend and wife. She touched so many people’s lives and will forever be missed but not forgotten for she has left a lasting impression on each and every life she touched. A high point in her life is when she cared for her niece Bella and nephew Kayden. She leaves behind her grandmother, Anne; sisters, Jennifer and Felicia; niece/sister, Jade; aunts, Lisa, Traci, Tiffany; uncles, Jeff, Paul, Daniel; husband, Curtis; along with numerous cousins and other relatives. Amber has now joined her mother, Deborah, and grandfather, Ray, in the hereafter where they are singing and playing guitar, as well as a little slow-pitch softball. Family and friends will be honoring her in a Celebration of Life, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 23 at Rumsey Park, Ramada #5.
