To know Amanda was to love her, most of the time. Her personality was as big as the sun. When she walked into a room, everyone knew. She found peace in the small things. Standing on a river bank; fishing for as long as she could stay away; sitting around a fire. She spent many hours at sporting events because she loved to watch her daughter, Aislin, play ball. She loved her people and her people loved her. She was always willing to help and would make sure if she was needed, she was there. Maybe not on time but she would always show up. Even though gone, she will never be forgotten. The people she surrounded will forever hold memories that should be cherished forever.
Pallbearers for the service will be Jason Johnston, Matt Johnston, Jake Johnston, Landen Rice, Easton Parker, and Ryan Smith. Honorary Pallbearers will be Keith Lee, Jason Holland, Chance Madera, Bryan Avant, Dwayne Harrod, Jim Edderington, and Jamie Shirey.
