Amanda Michelle Graham

1985 - 2015

Amanda Michelle Graham, 29, passed away unexpectedly on May 13, 2015. She was born June 10, 1985, in Placerville, California. Amanda lived in California and South Dakota, and has lived in Alaska since 1999.
She had a beautiful heart, a beautiful smile and a quirky sense of humor that always kept her family and friends chuckling. She loved to laugh, she loved music, her Cherokee heritage, and pretty much anyone she ever met. "Sail now, sweetheart."
Amanda is survived by her mother and stepfather, Susan and Matthew Van Dorp, of North Pole; her father and stepmother, Michael and Gwen Graham, of Eugene, Oregon; her brother and sister-in-law, Geron and Emily Graham, and her niece and nephews, Aiden, June and Oliver Graham, of North Pole; her step-brother and sister, Kody and Ashana Van Dorp, of Wasilla; her aunt and uncle, Janis and Robert Sorenson, and cousin, Tony Moline, of Talkeetna; cousins Leon and Brandi Moline and their children, Jacob and Savannah, of Anchorage; and grandparents Joanne and Bob Halberg, of Dexter, Oregon. 
She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Jacob and Alma Mitchell; uncle Les Mitchell, uncle Gary Mitchell, and cousin Michael Moline.
A private family memorial will be held.
