Amanda, a beautiful and loving mother, graced this world with her unwavering dedication and fierce advocacy for all children, especially those with special needs. Her life was a testament to her lifelong pursuit of knowledge and her relentless pursuit of justice for those she cared for deeply.

She was nationally certified as an educational diagnostician and was passionately pursuing her Doctorate in Educational Leadership, with a focus on Exceptional Learners.
Amanda was a woman of immense courage and determination, never backing down from a challenge and always standing up for what she believed was right in her heart. Her love knew no bounds, extending to her cherished friends whom she embraced as family. Their monthly Pokeno games were a source of joy and laughter, reflecting Amanda’s radiant spirit and capacity for love.
Together with her beloved husband, Ryan, Amanda was a devoted supporter of UL Lafayette, attending every football game possible since 2001. Music held a special place in her heart and was an integral part of her life. It was a joy she shared with Ryan and passed on to her sons. She found immense fulfillment in coaching their soccer teams and being actively involved in their lives, nurturing their passions and dreams.
To all who had the privilege of knowing her, Amanda will be remembered as a loyal, loving, and compassionate wife, mother, sister, friend, and coworker. Her legacy of love, laughter, and advocacy will continue to inspire and uplift those whose lives she touched.
