Amanda Suzanne Gill, age 43, went home to be with the Lord on December 26, 2025. She was born in Little Rock on June 28, 1982, and from the very beginning, it was clear Amanda was blessed with a fiery spirit, a stubborn streak (the kind Heaven surely appreciated), and a heart big enough to love everyone she claimed as her own.
Amanda loved the Lord, her family, and a really good bargain. She was a talented crafter who could turn just a few supplies into something beautiful, and she firmly believed clearance aisles were one of God’s greatest gifts. If Heaven has a craft room and a thrift store, Amanda has already found them.
Her greatest joy on earth was her family, especially her three grandsons, who were absolutely the apples of her eye. She loved them fiercely, bragged about them endlessly, and no doubt is already watching over them with that same protective love.
Amanda was preceded in death by her brother, Buddy Gill, whom we’re certain she is happy to see again, even if she immediately told him how things are going to be.
She is survived by her mother, Kelly Shelton (Bob); her father, Rommel Gill (Lisa); her stepmother, Susan Haydon (Calvin); her children, Jacob Raebiger (Kiley), Alyssa Pickens (Lathen), and Auto Minick; and her beloved grandsons, Elijah, Takai, and Mateo. She also leaves behind her siblings, Rommel Glynn (Kayla), Kaden, Riley, and Jaxon; her grandmother, Pat Gill; her aunt, Kimble Murphy; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who were blessed—and occasionally bossed—by her presence.
A very special thank you goes to Uncle Tracy Tittle, who never stopped showing up for Amanda and lovingly held her hand as she entered her eternal home. The family takes comfort in knowing she is now healed, whole, and at peace.
Amanda’s life was loud, loving, imperfect, and full of faith. While we will miss her deeply, we rejoice knowing she is resting in God’s presence, reunited with loved ones, and finally free from pain.

Oh kiddo the stories I could … imperfect is a wonderful way of describing you, as is a beautiful soul, sunny, stubborn, loving, caring, thoughtful, and sometimes thoughtless but the n thru you remained thr same “bear” we all loved. I’m not gonna lie it’s been a little strange knowing you aren’t walking among us but seeing the peace on your face while holding your hand when you entered the Gates of heaven is proof positive that we will see you again! You n Buddy behave until we get there! Love, Aunt Bea
Love you Bear!
