Amanda graduated from Houlton High School, Class of 1956 and then married her husband John in 1959. She worked at several different jobs from a young age but most enjoyed the last one which was building a successful business at Williams Pools where she worked side by side with her husband for more than 30 years. She thoroughly enjoyed talking with all their customers. Faith played an important role in her life and she was not afraid to share that.

Special thanks to the Hospice ladies who were so awesome with her, our favorite RN Nicole for answering our questions and a HUGE thank you which isn't nearly enough to our favorite caregiver and "nurse" John (our Dad and Grampy). He truly set an example of "til death do us part."
