Amber Dart

(From Simpson Funeral Home)

Amber Nichole Dart, a loving and inspiring soul, was born in Claremore, Oklahoma, on August 8, 1980. She spent her entire life in Webb City, Missouri, where her radiant presence touched every person she came into contact with. 

Amber, as she was known to all, was a testament to the power of human spirit and resilience. Her ability to find joy in the simplest things, like floating down the river or throwing axes, made her an embodiment of pure joy and inspiration.

Amber's strength was unparalleled. Despite never being formally employed, she attended the Cerebral Palsy Center from 1982-2001, demonstrating a determination that was truly exceptional. As an honorary member of the Webb City Elks Lodge for over ten years, Amber was a cherished part of the community. Her greatest accomplishment, however, was not a title or an award, but the love and warmth she spread everywhere she went. She taught those around her the true meaning of love, and what mattered most to her was having people around her.

Amber leaves behind her parents, Karon and Herb Schick; her stepbrother, Chad Schick; her stepsister, Cara Straughn and her husband Mike; and her grandfather, Luke Conley and his wife Barbara; along with several nieces, nephews and other members of the family. 

She was preceded in death by her father, Ben Dart; her grandmothers, Ginger Conley and Sue Dart; and her brother, Dustin Dart.

Visitation will be held on Friday, December 6, 2024, from 5-7pm at Simpson Funeral Home in Webb City. The funeral service will follow on Saturday, December 7, 2024, at 11am at the same location with Darrel Smith officiating. Graveside interment will follow at Webb City Cemetery.

Services are under the personal care and direction of Simpson Funeral Home. The family encourages relatives and friends to visit www.simpsonfh.com to share photos and memories of Amber. Her life was a testament to this strength, and her memory will continue to inspire and uplift all who knew her.
