‘LPBW’: Amy Roloff Talks About Losing Her Mother
The next episode of Little People, Big World airs Tuesday, May 5 on TLC. The episode includes the kickoff of pumpkin season at Roloff Farms. So, it’s full of happy and exciting moments. But, the LPBW family is also crushed by the loss of Amy Roloff’s mother. In an exclusive clip from PEOPLE, Amy opens up about this hard loss.
Amy’s mother, Patricia Knight, spent several months in the hospital prior to her death. So, the news of her passing was not a big shock to the family. But, Amy does reveal that her mother’s health got worse quickly. Amy was open with her social media followers amid her mother’s health challenges. In June, Amy revealed that she was heading home to Michigan to visit her parents due to her mom’s health issues.
When her mom passed away in September at the age of 86, Amy spent some time with her dad so he didn’t have to be alone. At the time, the LPBW matriarch spoke with PEOPLE about the loss and said, “I am so sad about my mom’s passing but comforted by all the memories I have and that she lived a happy, long life with my father. She was a great mom. Thank you for all the condolences and well wishes. Life is a gift, appreciate the moments in each day.”

As mentioned, the new episode includes the loss of Amy’s mother. In the episode, Amy reveals that her mother has passed away. She says, “My mom was 86 and she passed before my parents celebrated their 67th wedding anniversary and you know, she was just having some health issues. Eventually they found out that it was her heart. So her heart was starting to give up.”
Then, Amy adds that she’s heading to Michigan to be with her father. She wants to spend time with him and comfort him during this time. “I want to go to Michigan about three days prior to the memorial service, so I’m going to leave right after the prom. I’ll definitely be missing pumpkin season.” As TV Shows Ace reports, Amy is planning an adult prom since she missed hers as a high schooler.
Amy is dealing with a lot of emotions during this time. She has both happy feelings and sad ones. Just weeks before her mother’s death, the LPBW matriarch got engaged to her boyfriend Chris Marek. But, at the same time, she’s grieving the loss of her mother. It’s hard for Amy to navigate all of the emotions, especially when there’s a mix of them.
Even though Amy spent a lot of time with her mother as she was growing up, she didn’t see her very often as an adult. She says, “Do I wish I had more time with her as an adult? Yeah, I do. I wish she could’ve seen my kids and her grandkids and her great-grandkids a little more often.”
