Amanda Fellenz

Amanda Paige Fellenz
May 3, 1990 – June 15, 2025

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Amanda Paige Fellenz, a gentle and radiant soul who left us far too soon on June 15, 2025, at the age of 35.

Amanda was born on May 3, 1990, and from the beginning, she carried a quiet strength and a deep sensitivity. A lover of life’s expressive beauty, she found joy and peace in music of all genres, in the quiet creativity of cooking, in the vibrant strokes of art, and in the soul-baring release of poetry and writing. Amanda had an extraordinary gift for feeling deeply—an empath who absorbed the emotions of others and always sought to lift their spirits, often at the cost of her own.

She is survived by her mother, Tina Howell, bonus dad, Orin Howell, father, Rick Fellenz (Mary), as well as her best friend and chosen sister, Kristin Tomlinson, and Kristin’s children Bella, Kenzie, Cylas, and Nessie Tomlinson, whom Amanda loved dearly. She also leaves behind her grandmother, Nola McMillian, sister, Tavia Pagen (Danny), and a wide circle of friends, aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family who will carry her memory close to their hearts.

Amanda is preceded in death by her cherished brothers, T.J. and Zakary Fellenz; uncles Brian Monk, Mike Pearce, and Ron Fellenz, Aunt Cheryl Fellenz, and grandparents Glen Pearce, Richard Fellenz Sr., and Barbara Monk. Their reunion is a comfort to those mourning her loss here on Earth.

“She made broken look beautiful and strong look invincible. She walked with the Universe on her shoulders and made it look like a pair of wings.” – Ariana Dancu

Amanda’s passing is a stark reminder of the invisible battles many face. If you or someone you love or know is struggling with thoughts of self-harm, please know that you are not alone.

Reach out, speak up, and listen with compassion. Your presence and care can be lifesaving. Encourage open conversations, check in often, and never underestimate the power of simply being there.

There is always help, always hope, and always another day.

In honor of Amanda’s life, may we all strive to be gentler with one another, to notice the quiet sadness behind a smile, and to choose kindness always. Her legacy will live on through the beauty she created and the love she gave so freely.
