Amanda Coats Jensen Obituary
Amanda grew up in Garden Grove, California. She graduated from Bolsa Grande High School in 1998. After high school she worked as a secretary, office manager, paralegal and had various municipal jobs before being hired as Assistant City Clerk for the City of Westminster, eleven years ago. At the time of her death she had been Westminster's City Clerk for over a year.
Amanda was preceded in death by her four grandparents; David and Betty McAfee and Robert and Ann Coats. She is survived by her three beautiful children, Dylan Coats, 16; twins Emma and Hannah Jensen, 13, from her marriage to Jason Jensen; parents, William and Terri Coats of Garden Grove, California; aunt and uncle (Jan and Steve Harvey) of Costa Mesa; and cousins Graham and Bryce Harvey.
A celebration of life memorial will be held at Calvary Chapel Pacific Coast, 6400 Westminster Blvd., Westminster, CA, on Saturday, August 5, 2017, at 11:00 a.m., with Pastor Robert Benoun officiating.
Remembrances may be made in the form of flowers or memorial contributions may be sent in her memory to the domestic violence organization of your choice.

Amanda, I think of you everyday at work, thinking you are going to walk to my desk asking if we are going to work out at lunch. I heard Alan Jackson on the radio yesterday and a flood of memories from our concerts that we went to together; Tim McGraw, Alan Jackson, Toby Keith. I remember celebrating the first day of summer at Glen Ivy drinking champagne and soaking up the sun, saying we would make this a tradition, we made it twice..lots of memories, until we meet again..Gayle

We give you our word that we will love and guard them with everything in our beings as they grow up. May Christ's love comfort them and all of your loved ones until we meet in His Kingdom.

You always had such a beautiful smile Amanda and although we weren't very close other than working together at the City of Westminster we had a couple of fun crazy times together with our co-worker Jay. You will be the Angel watching over your beautiful children. May God Bless you and give your family strength during this difficult time. ❤

Although I never really got to know Amanda, we shared many things...we both went to the same elementary school, I remember seeing her in the girl scout circle of many troops, and her pictures are in all four of my high school year books even though she graduated from a different high school. She was always sweet and kind. In high school she would always say hi even though we ran in diffrent circles. I even had the chance to connect with her back in 2010 through face book about our girls being around the same age, she had an older son, and at the time I was about to have mine. Although we would always be in each others back grounds growing up...her spirt was so bright it left an impression. (How could anyone ever forget her smile.) May she always live in our hearts and memories.
