Amber Marie Kleditz (Joers)
April 3, 1988 – January 6, 2022
On Jan. 6, 2022, at 2:29 a.m., the light and warmth that was Amber Marie Kleditz (Joers) extinguished after complications with COVID-19. She joins her soulmate Collin Kleditz who left this planet on July 26, 2017.
Although she left us far too soon, it’s a testament to Amber’s strength as she shone brightly throughout the challenges presented to her in life, especially as she stood unwaveringly by Collin’s side throughout his life, injury, recovery, and passing. Even in the darkest moments, Amber shared laughter and looked forward to new adventures with contagious enthusiasm.
Born April 3, 1988, Amber was a 2006 graduate of Weyauwega-Fremont High School.
From childhood on, her love of the outdoors and free spirit evoked endless adventures to be shared by many. Amber’s warm and caring nature made her a perfect fit at her jobs from caring to the disabled, bartending, to entertaining. Amber was also working toward a degree in Health Administration and Counseling. However, her true passion lay in music.
To know Amber was to fall in love with her powerful voice. Whether singing at backyard bonfires, following her favorite bluegrass act around the country, or enjoying her annual trip to Jackpine Jamboree along with many other festivals. Amber lived and breathed music. Her unbridled passion connected her with hundreds of musicians and music lovers alike. Her voice, like her light, was a gift to the world.
Amber was preceded in death by grandparents, father-in-law Carl Kleditz, cousins Cullen Zartner, Kellen Murphy and Gari Hertel.
She is survived by father Don (Melissa) Joers, mother Terri Murphy (Mark), sister Maygen (Chris Morgan), brother Lucas Joers, mother-in-law Maureen Kleditz, and cousin Jennifer Driebel. She is also survived by her partner-in-crime Ketrina Lemke and her niece Ember. Amber will be dearly missed by countless adoring family members, friends, and fans.
May her songs play in our hearts and her love spread throughout all of her people. She loves every single one of you.
Details of her celebration of life this summer, Amber Quest 2022, will be released in spring.
