Amanda Jane Nethery
April 19, 1985 - March 13, 2022
Amanda Jane Nethery was born April 19, 1985, and she went to live with Jesus on March 13, 2022, after a lifelong struggle with several severe illnesses. She was born at Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood, Texas. Her family moved immediately to Huntsville, Texas, where she attended school. Upon graduation, she attended and graduated from Texas A&M. She was a fourth generation Aggie on both sides of her family and very proud of her Aggie heritage. She then attended and graduated from Southwest Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth with a Master's degree.
Amanda's true passions were going on mission trips and travel. She went on ten mission trips with the Jesus Film Project, a division of Cru(Campus Crusade), raising all funds necessary to get to the mission field, do the work assigned, and get herself home. She could also talk about all the African, European and Asian airports and the best (and worst) places to eat in those airports. She had grown in her love for nursing. When she left this earth, she was actively involved in taking nursing courses, and was working as a CNA, as well as substitute teaching, which she swore she would never do because her mother was a teacher.
Amanda hated to be known as "the sick girl." Consequently, most people never knew about all the different conditions and illnesses she was plagued by. She loved her family, taking every opportunity to join in frequent family gatherings. She and her daddy loved to go eat wings, go to movies, and find adventures to go on.
Amanda was preceded in death by her grandparents Joel and True Reese; Bettyanne Pratt Nethery; M.J. Nethery, Jr.; and Clyde Reese.
She is survived by her parents, Dr. and Mrs. M. J. Nethery (Skipper and Cindy); her brother and wife Nicholas and Jennifer Nethery; and, her four nephews, Clyde, Graham, Bryce and Reid. She loved those little boys like they were her own, and they loved her right back. Also surviving are uncles Neil(Stacy) Nethery, Larry(Carol) Nethery, and Carolyn Reese.
The family of Amanda Jane Nethery appreciate all the support and acts of kindness we are receiving during this time. Amanda fought the good fight (2 Timothy 4:7), but we will miss her forever.
Visitation will be held on Monday, March 28, 2022 at First Baptist Church in Huntsville at 10:00 am, with a memorial service beginning at 11:00 am. Memorial condolences may be made to the family at www.shmfh.com.
