Amy was born February 11, 1927 on a farm in Emerald Township, St. Croix County, to parents Frank and Olive (Sjoblom) Anderson.  The family lived in Hudson, WI and Amy spent many fun summers with cousin Jean Johnson in Siren, WI.  After moving to River Falls, she graduated high school, Valedictorian of the class of 1945, attended the River Falls Teachers College (now University of Wisconsin River Falls), and University of Wisconsin Madison earning her degree in teaching.

Amy met John Fetzner from LaCrosse, Wisconsin, while attending school in Madison.   After John graduated law school, they were married in River Falls, Wisconsin on June 11, 1950 and were blessed with three sons.  Amy and John raised their family in Hudson when John began practicing law there in 1956.   The family were members of the United Methodist Church in Hudson, where Amy loved to be involved. She was a choir member of the church and sang in community choirs for many years. She helped organize and participated in singing/bell ringer tours of Europe and was the church Memorial Committee Chair for several years. Amy actively coordinated different social events; was a dedicated member of P.E.O. Sisterhood,   Hudson Women’s Club, Garden Club, Bridge Club, and The Lawyers Wives of Wisconsin.

She was passionate about world travel visiting 96 different countries. When traveling with her family, they saw historic places and she educated them on the significance of those places.  Amy loved to share what she learned about different cultures by teaching seminars on places she had traveled. She was a gracious host entertaining friends and family with an annual Christmas Open House, a Packer/Viking party, many dinner parties with friends and clients, and gatherings for fundraisers such as the Hudson Hospital Auxillary.
