Amelia Arthur

PORTAGE/LODI - Amelia Jean Arthur, age 31, of Portage, passed away on Thursday, Dec. 21, 2023. She was born on July 10, 1992, in Janesville.

Amelia graduated from Lodi High School in 2010 and earned her Accounting Degree from Madison Business College. She worked as an accountant for Hammond Power Solutions Inc.

Amelia's family was her rock, we were always together doing something and couldn't go a day without talking to each other. She enjoyed reading, she always had a book she was working on. Baking was her passion, but she was a bit of a perfectionist, she wouldn't let anyone see it, taste it, or touch it until it was perfect. She loved snuggling and playing with her dogs (the Boys) Anchor, Oskar, and Merlin. She enjoyed watching and feeding her hummingbirds (my Hummers). She knew which male and which female were at the feeder and which ones were the fighters. Halloween was her absolute favorite holiday! Every year she always had the best costume and had to have a party where we all would dress up and play the most fun and creative games. She enjoyed watching us all compete against each other to win as she refereed. She had a sense of humor like no other. Always coming up with the funniest saying or come back that seemed to come out of nowhere. She lived to make people laugh and smile.

Amelia will forever be loved and missed, leaving an empty spot in all our hearts.

Amelia is survived by her parents, David and Penny McMurray; sisters, Natasha (Jordan) Truitt, Kayla (RJ) Arthur and Rainbow (Monty) Ruhde; brother, Calvin (Natalie) McMurray; nephews, Cameron Truitt, Zayden Zuber and Trapper Buchanan; grandmothers, Nancy (Junior) Laube and Marilyn Buechner; significant other, Tyler "TJ" Turner; and TJ’s Family Barb (Bob) Miller, Clint Baty, Brandon (Melissa) Turner, Sammi (Matt) Marquis; nieces, Alaska Turner and Miley Marquis; nephews, Gage and Colt Turner, Ozzy and Cyrus Coyote and many loved cousins, aunts, uncles and friends.

Amelia was preceded in death by her grandfathers, Roger Goplin and Jerry Buechner.
