Amy Z. Lichtenstein
March 28, 1964 - February 16, 2019
Mount Sinai Simi Valley - Kamenir Chapel
6150 Mount Sinai Drive
Simi Valley, CA 93063
Amy Zoe Beushausen Lichtenstein, loving mother, wife, daughter, sister and friend, left this world for her place in heaven on Saturday, February 16, 2019. Her fifty-four years were filled with love and compassion for others, shown through her career as a medical assistant right out of high school and then as an events coordinator for the Help Group and Silicon Valley Community Foundation after graduating from UCLA.
But the very best years of her life began when she met and married her husband, Steve, and soon thereafter created their beautiful family together with the birth of their son, Benjamin Martin, 15, and daughter, Alexandra Grace, 13. The three of them were the true loves of her life. The years that followed were filled to the brim with soccer, baseball games, horseback riding, musical theater, concerts and family trips to Palm Springs and Hawaii. She dedicated her life to providing the love and experiences for her children that helped them grow into the amazing young adults that they are today.
Amy was a caring daughter to her parents, Sally and Jerry Beushausen and a loving little sister to her siblings, Mark, Susan, and John, and their families. She also became an integral part of Steve’s close-knit family including his mother, Natalie, his sisters, Bonnie and Lisa, and their families.
Amy was a devoted and generous friend to many, many very lucky people who had the honor of knowing her throughout her life. She brought us all so much laughter and happiness, and we will never forget her sweet smile and warm hugs.
