Amie left us tragically and suddenly after a very short, acute illness. Survived by her loving and devoted husband Tristan and their precious 14-month-old son, her pride and joy, Jordan.
Amie was predeceased by her mother Laura and leaves behind to grieve her dad and step-mom Frank and Jane Bourree, sisters Andrea (Dave), Vicki (Darrin), Jill, Lisa, Samantha, brother Tom (Pam), Mother and father-in-law Libby and Don Urquhart, sisters-in-law Sommer, Lesha and brother-in-law Marshall (Megan) Urquhart. Also, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews too numerous to mention but all who were also so important to her.
Amie was a one of a kind, optimistic and cheerful person with an uncanny talent for turning lemons into lemonade. She had a huge heart and loved openly and totally. She loved to sing and cook, sharing both with everyone. She loved her dog Chi Chi, often walking him along Dallas Road.
She had recently returned to work at the Victoria Fire Department, a job she loved, after her maternity leave. She also spent many happy years working with the Victoria School District (Monterey Middle School / SD #61).
Amie, your star will shine forever bright. Your family, friends and colleagues will miss your warmth, enthusiasm and sense of humour. We will honour your spirit by loving harder, laughing louder, and treating each other with kindness.
The family wish to thank, from the bottom of our hearts, all the staff of The Royal Jubilee Hospital for their professionalism and care while looking after Amie. We also are deeply grateful for the kindness and words of support we have received from others.
A Celebration of her Life will be held on Saturday, January 12, 2019, from 2:00 to 4:00 pm in the Sequoia Centre at McCall Gardens, 4665 Falaise Drive, Victoria, B.C.
Condolences may be offered to the family below.

Our very sincere and heartfelt condolences to all your family from Jan, Michael, Dian and Darien Ross.
We are so saddened for your loss of Amie, Frank & Jane. We will always remember meeting her many years ago and discovered how much she not only loved to sing but was a true talent. We send our deepest condolences at this time to you and your family.
Dear Frank, Vicky and family
Your loss is immeasurable, there are no words that can describe the pain of loosing a child.
We spent many days and nights with Amiie during her teen years. She had the most engaging smile, full of energy, she lit up the room when she entered. I enjoyed listening to her sing as she worked towards her goal.
She is singing with the angels.
Strength and your family will help you through this
Our love and thoughts are with you. Sadly we will be out of town for the celebration of life and unable to attend.
Dear Frank, Jane & Family,
We are so very sorry to hear of Amie’s passing. Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with you all during this sad and difficult time. I remember meeting Amie so many years ago when Frank and I began working together at Grant Thornton. I will remember her as the bright light she was and trust that all your memories will serve as some comfort to you all.
