Amanda Sanderson Obituary
She was born in Marietta, Georgia on January 25, 1982. Amanda grew up in Newfane and attended Newfane Elementary School and Leland & Gray Middle School. She graduated with high honors in 2000 from Brattleboro Union High School & Career Center where she was enrolled in the culinary arts and business programs.
Recently, Amanda lived in the Brattleboro area and worked for area businesses and restaurants. She loved animals of all kinds, especially her cat Riker, who died with her. She loved the Boston Celtics, bringing home stray cats, and cuddling with her son, Tyler, watching movies and listening to music. Amanda was well known for her quick wit, beautiful smile and great sense of humor.
Amanda leaves behind her mother Pamela Lane of Ludlow, formally of Brattleboro and her husband Michael Eno; father, Curtis Sanderson of Bridgewater, formally of Newfane and his wife Ellen Quinn. She also leaves the love of her life, her son, Tyler Eugene Thomas, 12, of Westminster, sister Kristina Sanderson and nephew Cole of Winchendon, Massachusetts, and her grandmother, Ruth Lane of Brattleboro. She was pre-deceased by her Papa, Eugene Lane. Amanda also leaves behind many aunts, uncles, and cousins and many, many friends.

Somewhere over the rainbow, your wings start to lift you high above us all. I'll always cherish our recent years together. And I'm thankful to have grown closer to one another. A friendship many couldn't understand but regardless, we shared a lot of good times and even through some of the toughest, I'm glad we had each other for those moments. Tyler will always know how much you loved him. That's a promise. May you find peace, Amanda..

My deepest condolences to her family, especially her son, Tyler. I attended high school with Amanda and have many joyful moments with Amanda. Her contagious smile, easy going personality, and her never ending love for her son will be what I hang onto the most. She truly shined bright, even in her darker times. Love you, Amanda! Fly high!

Manda, I will never forget your big beautiful smile, your spunkiness & your sense of humor. Nor will I ever forget how much love you had for your son & how adorable it was to see you with him. It breaks my heart to think that you are no longer here in body but I know, without a doubt,that your spirit will live on forever in the hearts of those that you have left behind. When I was in & out of tears the other day as my thoughts kept wandering back to you, magically I was drawn to pop open a photo on facebook that just happened to have your message to me, calling me a "tool" and telling me that is why you love me so much...that's what I loved about you, you could call me a tool and then tell me you love me and I trusted 100% that you indeed did. You were authentic, you were beautiful & you were very loved! I will never forget you Manda! (((HUGS))) May God be with your family and help them to find peace during this sad, sad time.
