Amy Marie (Rodgers) Oskins, 48, of Merrillville, passed away unexpectedly at her home on Sunday, March 9, 2025, surrounded by loving family. She was born on November 24, 1976, in Oakland, CA, to Robert Rodgers and Diana (Bryan) Shulik. 

Amy is survived by her loving fiance, Richard Graziano; beloved children, Timothy Graziano, Richard Graziano Jr., Corey Graziano, Cameron Oskins, London Graziano-Lee, and Serena Oskins; grandchildren, Greyson Lee, and Michael Lee; father, Robert Rodgers; mother, Diana (Timothy “Daddy Tim” Schutt) Shulik; sisters, Marisa Rodgers, and Lauryn Schloemer; fur-babies, Mariah, Lili, Archie, Kylo, Chino, and numerous kitties; loyal EMS family from Elyria, OH, Orange Co., NC, and Bertie Co., NC; and a loving host of extended family, friends, and acquaintances. 

Amy was preceded in death by her husband, Mark Oskins in 2006, and maternal grandparents, Dallas and Lois Bryan. 

Amy was employed as a paramedic for many years, working for Lifecare in Elyria, OH, and moving on to work in Orange and Bertie Counties in North Carolina. Recently, she was in her second semester at Lakeland Community College in Ohio where she was studying to become a Nurse Practitioner, hoping to land a career working in the ER. Her dedication and courage to serve those in her communities at the most crucial times was something that she held near and dear to her heart. 

In her spare time, Amy could be found crafting, whether it be making beautifully intricate wreaths or crocheting afghans and other items for those around her. As her beloved son and best friend, Timothy, would say, Amy’s goal was “to make things nice and beautiful”. 

Amy will best be remembered as a fiercely loving soul who would help those in need and was devoted to family and friends. She, along with the love and joy she shared, will be deeply missed by those whose hearts she touched throughout her life. 

Cremation has been chosen and a private family service will be held at a later date in Ohio to honor Amy’s incredible life.
