June 23, 1990-May 29, 2013
Amanda Rose (Miller) Fewless, 22, Albany, Oregon, died Wednesday, May 29, 2013, as a result of a motor vehicle wreck on her way to school at LBCC.
Just a few weeks away from her birthday, Amanda was born June 23, 1990 in Grand Forks, North Dakota, to Johnnie and Diane Miller. She graduated from Sweet Home High School in 2008. On September 16, 2011, Amanda was overjoyed to marry her soul-mate Joshua Fewless in Portland, Oregon. She was currently an honor student at Linn-Benton Community College, where she studied Library Science, and together she and her husband were preparing to graduate this June.
Amanda was the light in all the lives she encountered. Everyone felt welcome with her because she accepted each individual person for who they were. She had a natural talent for being kind and caring, and she was especially gifted with children. One of her greatest joys was being in the midst of the children in her family. If there was a group of children, there she could be found also, for they seemed to gravitate to her personality like a magnet. In fact, she had recently expressed interest in becoming a teacher.
She is survived by her husband: Joshua Fewless of Albany; parents: John and Diane Miller of Sweet Home; siblings: Nathan, Shawn and Aaron Miller of Lebanon; Tanya and Ken Matney of Sweet Home; Anne Marie and Ryan Blackwell of Fort Polk, Louisiana; grandparents: Arnold and Barb Holli of Bismarck, North Dakota; Rodney and Lola Perkins-Henderson, Nevada; father and mother-in-law: Brian and Debra Fewless, Albany; their family: Bryan and Morgan Graham of Lake Oswego; Melissa and Delos Maddux of Independence; Rebecca and Kristopher Fewless of Albany; and grandparents Marvin and Dianna Fewless of Eugene, and Dorothy Creach of Sheridan; and dozens of cherished cousins, aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews from both the Fewless and Miller families. She was preceded in death by her grandmother Helen Marie Holli of Grand Forks, North Dakota.
Her funeral was held on Wednesday, June 5, 2013, at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Albany. AAsum-Dufour Funeral Home handled the arrangements.
