Since 1927 she has spent her time in caring for others in the homes of her brothers, sisters, nephews, and nieces who lived in Missouri, Kansas, California, and Oregon. She leaves 2 sisters and 2 brothers (Adeline Fenton and William E. Detweiler of Harper, Kans.; Leah Horst of Terra Bella, Calif.; and Jonas Dettwiler of Versailles, Mo.). Her parents, 2 sisters, and a brother preceded her. Thirty-three nieces and nephews remain who loved and respected their aunt Amanda. She always was so thoughtful of each one. She endured her suffering with much patience and cheerfulness. The little poem "The Home Land" meant much to her the last few days of her life.

"Think -
Of stepping on shore and finding it Heaven;
Of taking hold of a hand and finding it God's hand;
Of breathing a new air and finding it Celestial air;
Of feeling invigorated and finding it immortality
Of passing from storm and tempest to an unbroken calm;
Of waking up - and finding it HOME!"
