Amber Ann Duch, 50, of Jacksonville, AR, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Wednesday, August 5th, 2026. She was born in Little Rock, AR, to Sally and Larry Holland on March 9th, 1976.

During her childhood, Amber would spend most of her summer free time with her Grannie and Paw, helping in their garden and riding her bike to the softball field. Amber attended school at Bayou Meto Elementary and North Pulaski before transferring to Jacksonville High School, where she graduated in 1994. After high school, she graduated from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, where she studied abroad in Guadalajara, Mexico. She was a dedicated and passionate Spanish teacher for over 20 years, whether at a school or in her private lessons. All her students lovingly knew Amber as Señora. Her teaching career began at Our Lady of the Holy Souls School, where she taught for 7 years. In 2004, Amber married Stephen Duch and had two beautiful children. She left Holy Souls to stay home and raise her two children, which was her true passion. She later became a fitness coach, helping motivate many to begin their own fitness journeys while continuing to teach private Spanish lessons. Her loves were teaching, decorating, traveling, her dogs, and spending time with her family and friends.

Amber was preceded in death by her grandparents, Jeanne and Thomas Holland, and Jessie and Bryan Martin.

Amber is survived by her parents, Sally and Larry Holland of Jacksonville, AR; two children, Thomas Duch and Isabel Duch of Little Rock, AR; sister, Ashley Meredith of Olive Branch, MS; and niece, Chloe (John) Quinonez of Hot Springs, AR.
