Amber B. Plato

Amber B. Plato of Iron Ridge passed away Sun­day, Feb. 20.
She was born on July 21, 1999, in Dane County, the daugh­ter of Der­rick Plato and Tammy Well­hoe­fer.
Amber was a young, tal­ented, and as­pir­ing artist, ded­i­cated pet mom and mo­ti­va­tion to oth­ers.
After grad­u­at­ing from Hori­con High School in 2018 as a 4-year honor stu­dent, she en­rolled in the Art Ed­u­ca­tion pro­gram at Car­roll Uni­ver­sity. Al­though she was un­able to com­plete her stud­ies, she con­tin­ued to cre­ate beau­ti­ful art pieces. Those for­tu­nate enough to meet her ac­quain­tance would soon re­al­ize her gen­tle and com­pas­sion­ate spirit. But, her pos­i­tive, con­sid­er­ate and sup­port­ive na­ture was es­pe­cially in­spir­ing to those clos­est to her.
Such a kind and beau­ti­ful soul, taken from us much too soon, will be dearly missed……
but NEVER for­got­ten.
Amber is sur­vived by her fa­ther, Der­rick Plato of Iron Ridge; mother, Tammy Well­hoe­fer of Neosho; sib­lings, Ash­ley and Tey­gan; aunts, Michelle Plato of West Chicago and Car­rie (Wal­ter) Pfeil of Wit­ten­berg; cousins, Devin Plato of Bran­don, Wal­ter Jr., Tren­ton, and Jay­don Pfeil. She is fur­ther sur­vived by aunts, un­cles, cousins, other rel­a­tives, and friends.
She was pre­ceded in death by her grand­par­ents, Stew­ard and Ju­dith Plato, and Shirley Well­hoe­fer.
Re­cep­tion will be held at Berndt-Ledesma Fu­neral Home in Hart­ford, on Sat­ur­day, April 23, at 10 a.m., a short memo­r­ial ser­vice at 12:30 p.m. and a lun­cheon pro­vided at 1 p.m.
