Amanda was a homemaker and longtime resident of area. A devoted member of the Free Will Baptist Church, Amanda's vibrant spirit touched everyone she met. She had a passion for playing softball and horseshoes, and her creative side shined through her wood burning projects.

Amanda adored her dogs, lovingly referring to them as her babies, and enjoyed spending time with her family, often sitting on the front porch with her boys or taking her dogs for walks. Her radiant smile had the power to light up any room, and her love for her nieces, nephews, and dogs was as profound as that for her own children.

Amanda was a loving wife, sister, daughter, aunt, cousin, and friend. Her memory will be cherished forever by all who knew and loved her.
