Amanda Naegle Obituary (1985 - 2017)

Amanda Monique Naegle returned to our Heavenly Father on July 19, 2017 following lifelong illnesses. Her final days were spent with family and friends that came to visit or call. Her life would seem too short to many, but those who were touched by her understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. Her contagious laugh and friendly conversation made a person feel like you were instant friends. Monique possessed strength, perseverance, and an ability to overcome incredible odds and physical challenges. With her courage, she led us to believe that each day is a blessing and an opportunity to create lasting memories. Monique loved her family fiercely and had a special place in her heart for animals. She enjoyed puzzles (upside down and backwards!), cards, games, reading and solving mysteries, and drawing pictures or crocheting items for family and friends. With Monique’s passing we remind others that life is to be celebrated. We will miss her every day and she will forever remain in our hearts. Her resilience and example of having a happy attitude with minimal complaining through pain and setbacks has been and will continue to be an example to us. We were able to create wonderful memories and it has been a privilege to be her family. Monique is survived by her loving parents, Patti Hatch Olvera (Armand0), and Buck Naegle (Michele); sisters Rachel Richins (Brian), Sydni Dunford; brothers Derek and Zach Dunford; maternal grandparents Ervin Larry and Mignon Hatch; and loving aunts, uncles and cousins. She is preceded in death by her paternal grandparents LaMar and Joyce Naegle, uncle Don Cripps, and cousin Sierra Tietje.
