Aimee Marie Ransford

“

Her friendships meant so much to her, and she never missed an opportunity to share a little kindness or let someone know they mattered.

Aimee Marie Ransford was born on February 5, 1965, in Vallejo, California, to Bob and Colleen Haight. She was a beloved daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, and friend whose big heart and loving spirit touched so many lives. She passed away October 12, 2026 in O’Fallon, Illinois.

Aimee had a way of making people feel loved and remembered. She was the kind of person who would reach out just to check in, see how someone was doing, and remind them that they were loved. Her friendships meant so much to her, and she never missed an opportunity to share a little kindness or let someone know they mattered.

Above all else, Aimee was incredibly proud of her children, Daniel Fielding and Jessica Gin. Being their mom was one of her greatest joys, and the love she had for them was endless. She was also a proud grandmother to Daniel Fielding Jr. and Zoey Gin, who brought another special kind of happiness into her life.

Aimee loved to laugh and had a gift for turning ordinary moments into lasting memories. She loved sharing funny stories, reminiscing about the past, and bringing smiles to the people around her. She also loved creating a cozy home and spending time tending to her garden, making her surroundings feel warm, welcoming, and full of life.

Her idea of a perfect day was simple but said everything about what mattered most to her: sunshine, family gathered together, and ribs cooking on the barbecue.

Her idea of a perfect day was simple but said everything about what mattered most to her: sunshine, family gathered together, and ribs cooking on the barbecue. Those moments surrounded by the people she loved were where she was happiest. One memory that will always be treasured is the time she surprised her daughter with *NSYNC concert tickets after standing out in the rain at a radio station to get them. It was such a perfect example of the mom she was—thoughtful, determined, and willing to go the extra mile to make someone she loved happy. It wasn't just about the concert tickets; it was about the excitement, the surprise, and the memory she created that would last a lifetime.

Aimee is survived by her children, Daniel Fielding and Jessica Gin; her grandchildren, Daniel Fielding Jr. and Zoey Gin; her brothers, Rob Haight and Dan Haight; mother Colleen Haight; and the many family members and friends whose lives she made brighter.

Aimee's legacy is one of love, laughter, friendship, and the little things that mean the most. She leaves behind countless memories, stories that will continue to be told, and a love that will live on through the people she held close.

Until we meet again, Mom. Thank you for loving us the way you did. You will forever be loved, forever be missed, and never be forgotten.
