Amie Sewell Haskins

AMIE SEWELL-HASKINS was born on November 13, 1966, in Baltimore, Maryland. She was the beloved daughter of Robert Lee Haynes and Mamie “Doll” Phelps. Though an only child, Amie’s childhood was filled with family and love. After losing her mother at the age of nine, she was raised by her grandparents, Lea Anna and James Phelps Sr., and uncle, James “Pete” Phelps Jr., who all helped shape her strong faith and deep sense of compassion. A proud graduate of Western High School’s Class of 1984, Amie went on to attend Morgan State University and later built a successful career working in Baltimore City Public School System and most recently the State of Maryland Protective Services. In 1989, she welcomed her greatest joy, her son, Joshua. The following year, she married the love of her life, Gregory “Anthony” Haskins. Amie’s professional journey led her through many roles, but she found her true calling within Baltimore City Public Schools. Her colleagues became like family as they shared the joys and challenges of working with children. Inspired by her students, Amie returned to Morgan State University and earned her undergraduate degree in Family and Consumer Science in the spring of 2013 — an accomplishment that reflected her lifelong dedication to learning and service. A devout Christian, Amie’s faith guided every part of her life. Sundays were devoted to church, often attending multiple services, followed by Bible studies during the week. She was deeply committed to her community, especially the East Baltimore neighborhood of Asquith and Robb Street, where she grew up. Known for her generosity of spirit, Amie welcomed children from the neighborhood into family outings and offered emotional and spiritual support to anyone in need. Her ministry reached beyond the church walls — from women’s jail outreach programs to weekly prayer gatherings held in her home. Amie’s life was defined by faith, love, and service. She had a gift for making others feel seen and valued, and she approached every encounter with kindness and purpose. She leaves to mourn her husband, Gregory Anthony Haskins; son, Joshua Sewell; and parents, Robert and Brenda Haynes. Amie shared an unbreakable bond with her cousins, Jeanette and Ezar Jackson, Virginia, Cydney, and Cedrick Stewart, Wardell Jackson II, and Wardell Jackson III; along with many younger cousins, nieces and nephews who were blessed to call her family. Amie will be remembered for her unwavering faith, her joyful spirit, and her boundless love for others. Her legacy lives on in the many lives she touched — a reflection of the light and grace she brought into the world
