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.

My heart lays heavy as I learned today of the devastating news of losing my beloved healthcare provider, Amanda Endsley. You saved me a year and a half ago. Without your expertise I truly don’t know what I would have done. I was suffering but you healed me. I will be forever grateful. Our community is mourning — why her? I am going to miss her. The bible states our life is but a vapor, brief on earth, here one minute gone the next. And when we are gone—we are truly gone. Rest Easy Amanda—Heaven has called u home
So sorry to hear of your passing Doc. You were always there to listen and always showed a deep caring for my health. I hope Gods love surrounds your boys and your family and helps console them in their grief. I will think of you often and you and your professionalism will be greatly missed. Go rest high and watch over all of us. Thank You!
My heart is broken to see this news. Precious memories of Amanda and Ben playing in the pool with Ross and Amanda Bradley at their Uncle Dwight and Aunt Anna’s pool in Atlanta every summer growing up.. Thinking of the family and sending up prayers for strength.
Amanda was such a compassionate and professional person, not just her medical prowess but her excellent way to communicate what her patients needed to know and handle, the top priorities!! She will definitely be missed by so many people, family members, friends, patients and her animals she supported!
One of the most beautiful people you will ever have known. Bless you my friend.
I don’t know what I’ll do without her, Amanda has accomplished in several years than all the doctors in my 68 years, We shared so much our personal lives, My first visit she spent 3 hours with me, She, was more than a doctor she was a friend, I extend my simpathy and love to her family and friends, She was nothing short of God send,
I was a patient of Dr Endsely for a couple years had my last checkup 2 weeks ago she was a EXCELLENT Dr and I could tell she loved her job and was very caring she was a professional and had a great HEART ❤️. I am a better person for knowing her and will always think good things about her she will be missed.
Rest in peace to the most compassionate and caring provider I’ve ever had. When I was ready to give up on treating my mental health, you did everything you could to make sure that I felt seen and understood. If my next PCP is even a tenth as kind as you, then I think I’ll be alright.
We are so sorry for your loss. Praying for her young sons especially ;as well as the rest of her family.
May God surround all of you with a hedge of protection .Bless your families always as your sweet Amanda smiles down on all of you .
“Blessed are they that mourn; for they shall be comforted.” Matthew 5:4
Our hearts were filled with so much sadness when we learned of Amanda’s fatal accident. She has been my elderly mother’s and my daughter’s PCP for quite some time, which is how I became acquainted with her. Each time I took Mom into her office, Amanda always greeted us with her warm smile and her outgoing personality. She always took her time and never made us feel rushed. She was professional, but at the same time, she genuinely cared for her patients and always took as much time as they needed. She would hold my mother’s hand while she talked to her, and give her a gentle hug as we were leaving.
Many years ago, I had a nursing instructor who told me, “nursing isn’t a job… it’s a calling. It’s God’s work, and it takes a very special kind of person to answer that call.” Amanda knew that, and she answered that call every day. She loved being a nurse practitioner, and she strived to be the absolute best. And she was the best. She will be sorely missed by every patient she cared for, and by every life she touched.
Godspeed to a true “angel of mercy.” May she rest in peace in the arms of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
She was a great np she was my pcp for all most 6 months I seen her on the afternoon of August 18 she was the only person that had finally figured that I had adhd . So rest in peace and spread your wings and fly like the angel you were
Amanda was my doctor when I moved back down here from Indiana. She was my folks doctor as well, and we are just absolutely devastated to hear this news. I loved her as my doctor and as a friend. Love and prayers for her family, she will be missed.
From the cheer squad to rocking on the drums, she was LOUD in spirit and passion throughout school. So ambitious and beautiful inside and out! I have so many fond memories with her. Prayers and hugs to all. I am so sorry!
Amanda was more than my doctor, she was also a great friend. She will be greatly missed. Prayers to the family & friends.

Amanda was my doctor, She helped me get through so much the past couple of years. I always knew she cared so much and it’s not going to be the same without her. I hope she knows what she means to us all. Prayers for the family and friends
Amanda was the absolute best at what she did. I spoke with her about animals all the time. She was so thorough and thoughtful about those four which she cared, animals and humans alike.
Amanda was our pcp words cannot express how much she did for the both of us. My wife and I will miss her greatly miss her kindness.
Amanda’s kindness and beauty will live on through the countless lives she touched ❤️🙏 Prayers for her family and especially for her boys 🙏❤️🙏 She was always so kind and went out of her way always helping someone. She had a big heart for life ❤️ She was a beautiful person inside and out ❤️🙏

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

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.
