Amy Elizabeth Herzog Rominger

Amy Elizabeth Herzog Rominger, age 39, of New Castle, DE, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, March 18, 2015, after courageously battling health issues for the past several years. Born in New Brunswick, NJ on January 21, 1976, Amy was the beloved daughter of Elva I. Nickle and Steven Herzog. She lived in Piscataway until leaving New Jersey to attend college in 1994. An honor student in both high school and college, she was a 1994 graduate of Piscataway (NJ) High and received her B.A. in Communication from the University of Delaware in 1998. Amy was deeply creative and enjoyed oil painting, philosophy and poetry. She was a lifelong supporter of the humane treatment of animals. In her leisure time, Amy loved to travel and her favorite destination was Hawaii. She held her family and friends very close to her heart and recently wrote an expression of that sentiment: Hold your family near and dear. Keep them close year after year. If you love them, have no fear, because family is there year after year. She was preceded in death by her uncles, Jeffery Herzog and John H. Nickle, Jr. Amy will be dearly missed by her mother, Elva I.
