Amanda was born on June 3, 1986 in Kansas City, Missouri, the daughter of Larry and Jackie (Braden) Guggisberg. She was a graduate of Harrisonville High School Class of 2002. After high school, she spent most of her career as a CNA in various nursing homes throughout the area when her health would allow her to work, as she battled with a lung condition most of her life. Amanda’s greatest achievement was being a mother to her two children as they loved to go swimming together or take a trip to the local park to play. She will be remembered for her collection of panda bears.
Amanda was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents and paternal grandfather. She is survived by her parents: Larry and Jackie Guggisberg of East Lynne; her children: Lyniah Marie and Lamar Jarell “LJ”; her brother, Jason Guggisberg; her paternal grandmother, Donna Guggisberg; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins on both sides of her family. She will be missed by all who knew her.
