Amy Suzanne Penfold was born Dec. 3, 1966, the daughter of Ronald and Carol (Donoho) Penfold in Urbana. The first eight years of her life were spent in Mahomet where she attended grade school.

She loved to go fast in her dad’s cars. In 1976, the family moved to Wheeler Air Force Base in Hawaii.

She attended Como Middle and Arlington High schools. It was here that she attended the first of several Rolling Stones concerts. Then in June 1982, she and her parents moved to Minot, where she attended Central Campus and Magic City Campus and graduated with the class of 1985.
