She was employed at Foothills Temporary Employment where she indulged in her true love of helping people. Amanda was the protector of her family. Anyone who knew her has a story of the Amanda who stayed with them when they were sick, the Amanda who opened her home to someone in distress, and the Amanda who gave of her own without thought of repayment. Her fierce love and heart as big as the world give us all hope that she will be in heaven waiting for us with gummy bears and a Sundrop.
