Amanda Edington Funeral Expenses

This GoFundMe account has been created by Mary Gorton & Gwen Peterson. We've had the honor of being part of Amanda Edington's health coaching team for the last year and Mary has worked with Amanda for the last 15 years. Amanda was thriving in life. She was an Xray technician for Memorial Hospital for over 20 years she loved what she did. She was loved by all staff, She's always been kind, caring and compassionate and worried about the needs of others. A few years ago she decided to put focus on her own health to be able to be a healthy mother to her son Joseph. She took on her health weighing close to 500lbs and was so proud in November to have shed over 230 lbs. Not only was she focusing on her physical health but also her emotional health. She was reading books on strengthening her parental skills, her emotional skills and her financial skills. She was a fierce advocate for her son Joseph and made sure he was having every opportunity to thrive in life. This weekend Amanda and Joseph along with family and friends celebrated his 13th birthday

As Amanda was finding her newfound freedom, she was making sure to take care of the medical issues that had been plaguing her. Recently she'd had a few medical procedures which might have contributed to her passing Sunday night. Please keep Joseph and Amanda's father along with all of her family and friends in your prayers. All funds will be directly given to Amanda's father, Gary Gooding for funeral expenses, and future care expenses for Joseph.
