Amanda Champion Obituary

Oxford - Please join us in celebrating the life of Amanda McBrayer Champion, 35, of Oxford, AL. Amanda went home to be with the Lord on December 21, 2019.

The family will receive friends from 12:00-2:00 on the same day at the funeral home. A burial will follow at New Bethel Baptist Church.
She was the youngest daughter, born on July 18, 1984, to Kathy Lynn Woodward and Clifford Dale McBrayer.

Amanda dedicated her life to being "the best mother that her children could have asked for." She was a devoted christian who attended Word Alive International Outreach. Throughout her life, she had an unwavering faith in God, that she shared with her family. Anybody who knew her, was familiar with her huge heart full of love and endless helping hand. She impacted everyone she met with her contagious laugh and a smile that would light up the room.
