Amanda Ann Cox

Amanda Ann (Hoard) Cox was born November 19, 1986, in Casper, Wyoming. She lived in Spring Creek, Nevada, with her family. Amanda was a loving daughter and sister who left us too soon on the early morning of January 14, 2025. Passing peacefully in her sleep, she was met in the loving arms by her adoring big brother, Clint Newton, who also passed a mere 8 months ago. There is comfort in knowing Clint is there loving her endlessly and telling her everything will be okay. Together they will help their parents and their brother Michael through the immense grief of losing them both too soon. Her grandmothers, Marie Uhl and Shannon Cox, her grandfather, Slim Cox, and other loved ones would have also been there to greet her. She is survived by her loving parents (Marla and Garald Cox of Spring Creek, NV), older brother (Michael Newton of Kyle, TX), her grandparents (Edward and Rita Stout of Grand Jct., Colorado), aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews, and numerous cousins. 

Amanda was a precocious child, beautiful inside and out. Her name holds the meaning “a gift from God” she indeed was loved by many. Soft spoken amongst a house full of loud boys, they defended her honor and taught her how valuable she was and to never feel lesser during those most tender years. She truly was her brothers’ little princess and her dad’s little girl. Even in adulthood that never changed. The desire of her mama’s heart, she was everything you could ever want a daughter to be. Kind and considerate, always wanting to give of herself, she had a great sense of humor which having two big brothers, a girl would absolutely need. She loved animals and they loved her. Amanda has a gentle spirit, always making them feel secure in her presence. She was artistic and confident as a certified welder, and never batted a lash at the hard work and long hours that involved her trade. Tremendously smart, learning to read from her brother Michael at the age of 4, then sitting on her dad’s lap, reading to him. She was a light in a world of difficulty, never complained or used a harsh word, always doing the right thing even when it was the hardest. A blessing to all that knew her, a joy in our life, now an angel in heaven, beautiful memories will forever mark her life. We will miss our daughter, Michael’s sister, the niece, the aunt, and the cousin terribly.
