Amy May Obituary

Amy Landers May, 49, passed away on September 7, 2025, in Summerville, South Carolina. An accomplished attorney, and compassionate advocate, Amy's professional life was marked by service to others and a steadfast commitment to justice and care. Born on March 11, 1976, in Columbia, South Carolina, Amy was the daughter of Audrey Evans Landers and the late Alvin Terry Landers. She grew up in Columbia alongside her siblings Pamela Landers Edwards and the late Jason Todd Landers. Amy held a deep bond with her beloved maternal grandmother, the late Mildred Baxley Evans-the only grandparent she ever knew. Amy was a baptized member of the First Seventh Day Adventist Church of Columbia and was 1994 high school graduate of an Adventist Christian School, Mount Pisgah Academy in Candler, NC. Amy received her bachelor's degree from Lander University in 1998 before earning her Juris Doctor from Mercer University School of Law in 2001. Her legal career was distinguished by both excellence and empathy. Specializing in elder law, Amy served as a court-appointed fiduciary for many clients across South Carolina. Her work extended far beyond legal obligations; she was known for providing exceptional care and support to those she represented, often stepping into roles that required not just legal expertise but also compassion and dedication. In recognition of her outstanding contributions to the legal profession early in her career, Amy was honored as the South Carolina Bar Young Lawyer of the Year in 2011. Even with all these previous accolades, Amy's greatest pride was found in her twin sons, Finnegan Christopher May and Landon Baxley May. She shared this journey with Jon Christopher May, father of their children. Their birth was the happiest day of their life. Amy's legacy is one of fierce advocacy paired with gentle care-a rare combination that touched not only her clients but also extended family members who relied on her strength and nurturing spirit. Her passing leaves a profound void in the lives of those who knew and loved her. A private burial memorial will be held to honor Amy's life and legacy.
