| Notes |
- Amanda Marie (Van De Hey) Jackson, a true angel here on earth, returned to heaven on Tuesday, September 7, 2010, with her husband and father at her side.
Amanda was born on November 15, 1983, in Appleton, WI, and lived her entire life in her childhood home in Menasha, WI. She graduated from Kimberly High School in 2002. She also attended UW-Fox Valley. Amanda married her soul mate Kelly E. Jackson on June 10, 2006. Amanda truly enjoyed spending time with her and her husband's families. She had fond memories of her days on the family farm as a child and most recently taking special rides with her dad. She cherished the time she spent at Green Lake and fishing with her husband. She loved all animals especially her beloved cat Fritz. Although Amanda was not able to see all her dreams come true, one did this past January when her and her husband were able to travel to Disney World and visit Cinderella's castle. No one that knew Amanda will ever forget what a beautiful person she was inside and out and the courage and bravery she showed as she battled the cancer that took her from us much too soon.
Amanda is survived by her husband of four years, Kelly Jackson; her father, Chester (Terri Green) Van De Hey, Menasha, WI; her grandparents: Verona and Sonny Van De Hey, Menasha, WI; an aunt, Vickie Van De Hey, Larsen, WI; cousins: Travis (Alissa) Murray and Ashley (Nick) Kiley; and her mother, Bridget Miller. She is also survived by her in-laws: Jerry and Kathy Jackson, Appleton, WI; a sister-in-law, Nicole (Trevor) Gelhaar, Sherwood, WI; and a brother-in-law, Scott Jackson, HI. Amanda is further survived by many more special aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.
Amanda was preceded in death by her great-grandparents: Margaret and Gordon Van De Hey.
A Funeral Mass will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, September 10, 2010, at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, 516 De Pere Street, Menasha, with Fr. Paul Radetski officiating. Visitation will be held from 9:30 a.m. until the hour of the Mass at the church. Interment will take place in Holy Angels Cemetery, Darboy. In lieu of flowers, a memorial will be established.
Amanda's entire family would like to thank Drs. Wycoff, Swanson, Krueger, Mortara and their entire staff, the staff of ThedaCare at Home Hospice, the 7th floor staff at Appleton Medical Center, especially Dr. Turk and Donna, and the ladies at Central Scheduling at Theda Clark. We will be forever grateful to all the family and friends that took time to care for and spend time with Amanda and made sure she knew she never was alone especially, her grandparents, Kelly's mother Kathy and Grandma Kelley.
