Amber Nicole Mills Obituary (1984 - 2007)

To view a video tribute for Amber Nicole Mills, please click here. Amber passed away suddenly and unexpectedly due to complications from a fall. She was loved and survived by her large extended family, including her mother, and a never-ending circle of friends. Since birth, Amber had a great ability to overcome many trials and tribulations. She was born with an extremely rare skin condition that required extensive medical care and treatment. Throughout her life, she refused to allow this to interfere with accomplishing her dreams and her goals. As a child, Amber quickly developed a strong love for school, swimming, and dancing, especially in her little jelly shoes. She was born and raised in Tucson, Arizona. At the age of 9, she and her family moved to Utah. She attended Granite High School. Although she excelled in every thing she did, her true passion was the people she cared about. She was also an exemplary student and dancer. She was co-captain of the water polo and the swim teams. She graduated in 2002, continued her education at Weber State University, and she danced at local dance Academies. Amber was more than a special person. She had a great joy for life which instantly influenced everyone around her. Her love for family and friends was endless and her ability to help anyone she came in contact with was more than amazing. If anyone could put a big smile on a person's face, in any situation, it was Amber. Humor was one of her many gifts, and it played a huge role in making her life fun, happy, and, most importantly to her, giving others joy. Giving was her life, and we'll never forget all the many great memories she created with us. She was the greatest gift we could ever hope for, and she will live in our hearts forever.
