Amanda was born and raised in Thibodaux, Louisiana, and attended Brookfield High School in Brookfield, Wisconsin, before moving back to the New Orleans area after graduation. She worked clerical jobs in New Orleans for a few years before meeting and marrying the love of her life, with whom she had seven children. After the children were grown, she returned to the workforce, working for many years at K-mart until her first grandchildren were born. She later worked as an administrative assistant at Three Rivers and Greenbriar Psychiatric Hospitals in Covington until her retirement.
Her hobbies included reading, genealogy, and cooking, but her life ultimately revolved around her family. She loved spending time with them and making memories together. She loved them, and they loved her. She will be dearly missed.
