Amanda enjoyed attending all the Indian Days (Browning, Kainai, and Tsuu T’ina). She enjoyed shopping in Cutbank at JCPenny/Normans. During the Browning Indian Days she always camped in Carolyn Zuback’s backyard in Browning. She always enjoyed a good BBQ and bonfire and travelling.
Amanda’s ambition for life was felt by all who met her. She was outgoing, friendly, kind to all whom she met, always enjoyed a good laugh, her laughter was infectious. She met lots of people in her lifetime. She will be missed by all her family and friends: young and old. When you met Amanda you were sure to be touched by her loving kindness. She was a big sister to all and will not be forgotten.
