Amanda was funny, stubborn, and felt deeply. She wanted the most out of life and loved traveling, especially taking her boys to see new places and experience new things. More than anything, she loved being by the beach, where she felt the most at peace. Amanda loved deeply; those who knew her will remember her strong spirit, her humor, and the depth of her emotions. While her journey was not an easy one, her family prays that she is now finally at peace.

A Celebration of Life will be held on February 20, 2026, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Rockwall Rotary Club.

Amanda's greatest legacy lives on through her children and the love she had for her family. She will be remembered, missed, and forever held in the hearts of those who loved her.
