She was born in Farmington, July 1, 1987, a daughter of Matthew Robert Rickards and Marcia June Coffin and was a 2005 graduate of Mt. Blue High School.

Amanda liked to be busy, having held jobs at Rite Aid as a pharmacy tech, BIW, and most recently at Jarden’s, now known as Life Made. Amanda loved plants and animals, especially her cat Luna and her dog, Benji. She was a great decorator, and especially loved primitive and rustic home decor. She enjoyed fragrance’s and had an infectious smile and with deep dimples. She loved the beach and floating with her daughter, Bella; her days always started or ended with a phone call to her daughter if they were not together. Amanda had a love for mud and going to mud runs, watching her brother, Luke. She had a keen eye for fashion; baby blue being her favorite color; and never left the house without a full complement of jewelry given to her from her Great Gram to her daughter, Bella.
