Amanda Harrison, age 41, of Knoxville died Wednesday, Feb. 23, 2022, in Clarksville.
She was born April 27, 1980, in Russellville to James Steven and Cynthia Sue (Butler) Osborn. Amanda was deeply devoted to her family and her community. She was the biggest (and loudest) supporter of her own children in their many sporting endeavors.
Amanda was a teacher at Lamar High School and very involved in the school athletic department. She organized team meals and was known as the loudest voice in the Lamar Warrior stands. Her students knew her as a friend first and a teacher second, often spending time in comfy chairs at the back of her classroom talking and laughing. Amanda also loved camping, fishing, the beach and babies.
She is survived by her loving husband, Brian Harrison; three sons, Alex Spradlin, Landon Harrison and Carson Harrison; one daughter, Kylie Harrison; her parents, Steve and Cindy Osborn; her father- and mother-in-law, Bill and Connie Harrison; one sister, Stephanie Dunning and husband Chris; two brothers-in-law, Greg Harrison and wife, Katy, and David Harrison and wife, Nicole; five nephews, Holt, Cosner, Henley, Ruston, Quinn, Evan and Asher; five nieces, Claire, Avagail, Henley, Quinn and Layla; her grandparents, Roy and Betty Butler; her grandfather, James Osborn; special friends, Frankie Jo Casey and Christine Selby; and numerous other family and friends.
Amanda is preceded in death by one son, Braden Thomas; and her paternal grandmother, Bobbye Osborn.
A visitation will be from 5 to 7 p.m. on Monday at Roller-Cox Funeral Home chapel. A funeral service will be at 10 a.m. on Tuesday at the Lamar High School Gymnasium, with interment at Bowden Cemetery in Pottsville, officiated by Bro. Nate Willcutt.
Alex Spradlin, David Harrison, Greg Harrison, Shane Butler, Stephen Harrison, Hot Harrison, Cosner Harrison, and Chris Dunning will serve as pallbearers.

Amanda was our son´s best friend & girlfriend when they were 2 years old. I would get to see that beautiful sweet smile & get a precious Amanda hug if I got to daycare before her momma did. Through the years we got to see the wonderful athlete, women, wife, mother, teacher, mentor Amanda grew into. She touched many & was a true blessing to know. Every single time I had the opportunity to see Amanda, no matter where, or who was around, or how long it had been between, I´d get another one of those wonderful Amanda hugs & get to see that beautiful smile. Amanda & her beautiful smile will be missed!! We are soo very sorry for your great loss! Love & prayers!
