A Celebration to Honor the life of Mary Amanda Endsley, age 37, of Fayetteville, TN will be held at 3 PM on Sunday, August 31, 2025, at the Fayetteville-Lincoln County Arts Center. There will be a time of visitation from 2 PM until 3 PM. At 3 PM a Celebration of life will begin by those that wish to speak to share Amanda and her legacy. A time for gathering together enjoying one another for her and in her memory. A time to bring out the laughter, joy, and energy she brought to life. Amanda would say dress casual, colorful, and happy. She would say come to have a good time.
Mary Amanda Endsley was born on July 2, 1988. She was a daughter, a sister, a mother, a friend, and a nurse. Her entire life professionally and personally was dedicated to caring for others. On August 20th our Father in Heaven, in his mercy, decided that she had given all of the care that was required of her, and he brought her guided into the rest that she had earned. The name Amanda means “worthy of love,” and love is never felt so strongly as when its lost. We take comfort in the memories of her life and in the love that she had for each of us. Every day we will remember her as we strive to remain worthy of the love shown to us by our daughter, mother and sister.

Haven’t known her long. Became my PCP & second visit with her was July 31st. The first visit, we talked a lot, she loved her children. I took an instant love for her. I am devastated to hear this sad news. My heartfelt condolences to all family & friends…
Amanda was my Dr, she was wonderful at her job. She will be deeply missed. Prayers are with her family.
My dear friend. This is so hard for me to accept. You mean more to me than anyone could ever imagine. You taught me so much more than just medical stuff. You were a great provider to myself and my husband. You were one of my dearest friends that I shared so much of my life with and you never once judged me for. I miss you so much and I have talked to you daily, I know you are listening and responding I can feel it. You will always be in my heart
Prayers and love for the family and friends….so sorry for your loss. …may God comfort you all in a way that He only can….Pamela Morris

Amanda has been our PCM for the past two years. She was an incredible NP, and her caring and empathy for her patients was apparent in all she did. Amanda will be greatly missed in our community by so many. I am deeply saddened by this tragedy, and for her family. Special blessings for her boys who meant so much to her, and lost their beautiful mother way too soon. Praying that the Lord will bless and comfort the family at this time. Fly high sweet girl! You are surely with the Angels now!
I only met Amanda about a year ago at her office. She was the kindest most knowledgeable PCP that I had found since moving to Winchester. I liked her so much that I recommended her to everyone. I am heartbroken for her family and for this community. She will be dearly missed!!
Amanda has been my wonder woman since September 29th 2014. She was the nurse when I delivered my son. She went above and beyond for me that day and half. I never missed a chance to tell her how much she meant to me. I’m deeply saddened for her boys. She loved them fiercely. Such a bright light gone too soon.
Amanda has been my doctor for the past 2 plus years. She was always so nice and a great NP. I am so sooo sad to hear of this terrible tragedy and will miss her greatly. My condolences to the entire family. She will be greatly missed by all.
My sweet Amanda, it was an honor and privilege to know you. Thank you for all you ever did for me. And thank you for being a friend. I love you girl, fly high with the angels 🪽🤍
My sweet girl, this has been hard to except and it still doesn’t seem real. You are loved by so many. My pain in my heart is not alone it is shared with so many. I am praying for your sweet Houston and Wyndal, your Mom and for Lyle, Coy and Josie. Your love outshines anyone I have ever known. My heart is very dim right now without you. I will relight the light when I can except that you are truly gone. I love you so very much and I miss you terribly. You will be apart of me for as long as God lets me live. This loss is like losing one of our own children. You truly were a part of our family. I will miss you sweetheart and I’m so grateful you have been apart of our lives. I love you so much and I miss you sweet girl. I miss your smile, your laugh, your love and thank you for never judging me!! You saved me so many times from total darkness. I’m so thankful I hugged you one more time on Sunday and told you I loved you. Because I do and you knew!!!
My sophomore year of HS I was in Jazz Band with Amanda. I played guitar so I was over beside her on stage. I still remember how intimidated I was of her. 😉 She was extremely pretty, and wise beyond her years, not to mention playing music just came so easy to her. I got over my fear eventually and we became friends. She was the 1st drummer I ever played in a band with that was close to my age. She taught me a lot, and was very kind to me. I am deeply saddened to hear of her passing. I pray peace over her family, during this impossible time.
My daughter and Amanda were in band together. I was in awe of her drumming abilities along with an endless smile she had every time I saw her. My condolences to her family.
Words cannot express the sorrow I feel for Amanda’s family, and especially her children, who she loved so much. The kindness and compassion she had for her patients was unmatched. She spent time with people, focusing on not only their physical health, but their mental wellbeing and quality of life. She set the bar very high for what a healthcare provider should be. She brought light into the lives of so many people, myself included. My sincerest condolences to her family and friends.
