Amanda Grace Fritz-Klingler

Amanda Fritz-Klingler, 41, passed away on April 20, 2026. Born on August 30, 1984, Amanda lived a life defined by compassion, generosity and a deep, unwavering love for those around her with a unique blunt sense of humor.

She is survived by her devoted parents, Lynn and Patricia Fritz and her siblings: Adam and wife Marsena Fritz, children Addison and Cooper, Travis and wife Michelle Fritz children Penelope, Wren, Eloise and Eve, Miranda and husband Tanner Derflinger children Carolynn, Emmalynn, Madilynn and Raelynn; and her fiancé, David Lyon children Dahliah and Azalea. She also leaves behind countless friends who were, in every sense, her chosen family.

Amanda was a proud U.S. Army Veteran, carrying her servant heart into every chapter of her life. She continued to serve others as both a nurse and a nanny, roles that perfectly reflected her nurturing spirit. Children were naturally drawn to her warmth and kindness, and she loved them with her whole heart.

She had a rare gift for making people feel seen, valued, and loved. She never held a grudge, choosing instead to lead with grace and understanding. If someone was in need, Amanda would give without hesitation, even the shirt off her own back. She was fiercely loyal, loving deeply and wholeheartedly.

Amanda also had a remarkable musical talent, able to pick up and play any stringed instrument with ease, filling rooms and hearts with music.

Amanda's life was one of service, love, and quiet strength. She fought to live a normal life in the midst of a daily battle with POTS. Though she is deeply missed her family takes comfort in knowing she is finally at peace with the Lord. Her legacy lives on in the countless lives she touched, the kindness she gave so freely, and the love she leaves behind.

A Celebration of Life for Amanda will be held on Saturday, July 25, 2026, starting at noon. Please join us as we come together to share stories, laughter, and memories in honor of her beautiful life. Guests are welcome to come and go throughout the day. Contact the family for the location.

In lieu of flowers, family is asking donations be made to StandingUptoPots.org in her honor.
