Memorial Gift to Purple Paws From...

Amanda Nicole Metzler, 28, Manhattan, passed away suddenly at her home.
Amanda was born April 9, 1996, in Hartford, WI. She loved everyone she came into contact with, and she had the biggest and kindest heart. She didn't know a stranger, and was a very giving and loving person. She was a self-proclaimed nerd, because she loved Star Wars, Harry Potter, Zelda, anime, manga, and video gaming.

She was a great artist and could draw about anything she set her mind to. She could also watch a movie, and recite it line for line after seeing it only once. She loved working with her little kids at KinderCare in Manhattan, and they all loved her. She also loved animals, particularly her four dogs, Junie, Tiny, Little Bit, and Sassy. She graduated from Wamego High School and participated in marching band all four years.

Amanda is survived by her mother, Debra, of the home; her father, David Metzler, Scott City; her sister Jessica Shenk, Dodge City, and her stepsister, Corie Wordleman, Bucklin; her aunts, Jennifer Zahradka (David) of Jennings, Melissa Hendricks (Zek) of Salina, Rebecca Mick of San Antonio, TX, Lisa Morton (Royce), Ellis, Lori Zimmerman (Brian), Ulysses; her uncles, Neal Metzler, Centennial, CO, and Jim Metzler, Ellis; grandmothers Carol Mick of Hoxie and Margaret Metzler of Ellis, her nephews, numerous cousins, family and friends.

She was preceded in death by her grandfathers, Kenneth Metzler and Richard Mick, and her step-mother, Holly Metzler.
