WATERBURY — It is with overwhelming sadness and broken hearts that the family of Amber Duncan Coffey, age 2 months share the news of her unexpected passing on Sunday, November 1, 2026, at St. Mary’s Hospital in Waterbury. She was the daughter of Grace Dingee and Randall Coffey.

Amber was born on September 8, 2026 in Waterbury and even though for just a short period of time filled the lives of those around her with immeasurable love, joy, and happiness. From the moment she came into this world, she was cherished beyond words and brought a special light into the lives of her parents and family. She was her dad’s little princess, his little gooba, and a special reflection of him who will forever hold her with a special place in his heart. She was also her mother's precious sweetheart, and her Mom will always love and miss her dearly.

Her family finds comfort in imagining her being welcomed into Heaven with open arms by her great-grandmother Anna Coffey, and her grandfather Richard Duncan, who will hold her close until the day they are all reunited.

Amber leaves behind her loving mother, Grace Dingee; her father, Randall Coffey; her sister, Fayth; grandmother, Audrey Gertsch, her grandfather, Neal Kelly; her aunts, Breanna Rodriguez (Hector) and Vanessa Spain (Richard); her great-aunts, Deborah Hyde (Rocky) and Darlene Lombardo; her cousins, Casey, Anna, and Benjamin Rodriguez Coffey; and many other family members who will forever hold her in their hearts. A special place in the family's hearts will always belong to her great-aunts Deborah and Darlene, who were true angels throughout Amber's life. Their love, kindness, and unwavering support will never be forgotten.

She will always be our little girl, forever loved, forever missed, and never forgotten. “You were only here for a moment, but you will be loved for a lifetime.”
