Services for her celebration of life were held at her alma mater Friday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mourners were asked to wear Crocs and have their hair in messy buns because that was Amanda\u2019s constant wardrobe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The family shared many memories with Amanda. They said she was a light who was always making people laugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

She was a girl with many aspiring goals and dreams and some of those dreams were to become TikTok famous, a math teacher and a cheerleading coach at her alma mater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Amanda is no longer here to fulfill her goals, her little cousins plan to make them a reality for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
