Amy Sutherland unexpectedly passed away in her sleep on Sunday, January 5, 2014. and left her family and friends in overwhelming shock and sorrow.
Amy was born in Burien, Washington on March 27, 1962 and grew up in Normandy Park and Mercer Island. A graduate of Mercer Island High School in 1980, she attended Oregon State University where she majored in Mechanical Engineering. At OSU she was honored by the Phi Kappa Phi Society for scholastic excellence.
After graduating in 1985, she and her mother toured Europe by rail, making many new friends. Upon return, she accepted an engineering position at Boeing. She also earned a degree in Graphic Design and then spent a few years applying her engineering and design skills. However, her entrepreneurial spirit finally compelled her to start her own business.
Having spent many happy days at Lake Chelan at her family's apple orchard, she decided to combine business with pleasure and start an applesauce business. She successfully developed and marketed applesauce and other products based on premium apple varieties like Fuji and Honeycrisp. Her High J brand products are found in many stores throughout the State and in other U.S. cities.
In her younger days, Amy was an avid horse lover, and she and her sister Catharine owned an Appaloosa that they rode whenever they could coax a ride to the ranch in Issaquah. She also spent several summers at the Triple B horse ranch in eastern Washington, first as a camper and then counselor.
A skilled water skier, she spent several summers in northern California as an instructor at a water ski camp. Amy was at home on the water and her fondest memories were the times she spent outdoors on the water or on horseback.
She was a talented artist whose work is displayed in her family's homes in Sammamish and Manson. She was a loyal companion to her parents, with daily walks with her father and frequent musical events with her mother.
Amy is survived by her mother Marguerite Sutherland, her father George Sutherland, her brother Peter and sisters Catharine Williams and Elisabeth Brown.
