Amanda JoAnn Newcome was born on July 18th, 1989 to Jeff and Mary Newcome in Okinawa Japan. She was their first child and only daughter. She was named after her grandmother, JoAnn Newcome. She attended Green Elementary School, Freemont Middle School, Roseburg High School, and Umpqua Community College, where she earned her Associates Degree in Business Management.
In her short working career she worked as an office manager at Liquid Art, an account associate at Umpqua Bank, an office manager for the Roseburg Soccer Association and at the time of her death, a Therapeutic Foster Mother for Maple Star located in Springfield, where she lived with her foster son Marchese and her four year old son, Benson.
Amanda is survived by her parents, Jeff and Mary Newcome, her brother Kenny Newcome, her grandparents, Herb and Cheryl Nitschke, her grandmother JoAnn Newcome, her Uncle Chris and Aunt Rhonda, her Uncle Herb and Aunt Angie, her Uncle Steve and Aunt Mary and countless other family members too numerous to name.

Amanda loved to decorate. Her dream was always to become an interior designer and she took several interior design classes in collage. She was very good with color, textures and shapes and she could transform any room. Her ultimate goal was to become a pre-school teacher and intended to start classes in the fall.
She was a sweet and loving person and will be missed by so many. May you rest in peace Amanda
