Amy & Abigail Grabow

Amy Prince Grabow

Amy Pauline (Prince) Grabow was born November 19, 1968 in Robbinsdale, MN. With her father serving in Vietnam and later as a commercial pilot, she moved more than a half dozen times before the age of 12.  Growing up in Southeast Missouri she fell in love with horseback riding, photography, and cheerleading.

She later graduated from Southern Illinois University with a degree in communications and moved back to Minnesota to pursue her career, eventually met her husband, got married, and started their family together.

Life is full of blessings. Those who knew Amy, have been blessed with an exceptional gift that can never be taken away.  You will never meet anyone like Amy. Amy was a force, in the best kind of way. Her larger than life, infectious personality was apparent to everyone she met. She had the quickest of wit and an unparalleled sense of humor. She truly brought joy to everyone she knew.

As a mother, she possessed the most wonderful of qualities - fun loving, supportive, nurturing, she was the mom kids wanted to be around.  Friends and family will always remember Amy as loyal, steadfast, selfless, honest, caring, nonjudgmental, trustworthy, a great listener, stylish and beautiful both inside and out. Those who knew Amy admired her ability to see the good in everything, inspiring others to be better and to help others.

Amy had a strong work ethic which led to a very successful 25+ year career in retail and marketing both at Target and the Moscoe Group where she was the VP of Marketing and Business Development. She was a talented, creative leader and in 2017 founded All The Feels, a brand dedicated to improving the lives of young people.

Amy loved to travel, spend time at the cabin, watch her girls play sports, shop the latest trends, entertain family and friends and to make us all laugh!

On May 25, 2020, Amy, her husband, three daughters, and two dogs were involved in a tragic car accident near Braham, Minnesota on their way home from their family cabin that took the lives of Amy, her oldest daughter (Abbey) and their two dogs (Piper and Cookie).
