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.
“Blessed are the pure of heart; for they shall see God.”
