Amanda Ferguson graduated from Lehigh Senior High School in 2022 where she was co-captain of the cheerleading team.
Services for her celebration of life were held at her alma mater Friday morning.
Mourners were asked to wear Crocs and have their hair in messy buns because that was Amanda’s constant wardrobe.
Family shared many memories with Amanda. They said she was a light who was always making people laugh.
She was a girl with many aspiring goals and dreams and some of those dreams were to become TikTok famous, a math teacher and a cheerleading coach at her alma mater.
Although Amanda is no longer here to fulfill her goals, her little cousins plan to make them a reality for her.
Nylah Belgrave is one of Amanda’s cousins she leaves behind. Nylah plans to walk in her cousin’s shoes.
“I’m going to try to be a teacher actually. I’m also definitely wanting to work at Texas Roadhouse, “ said Belgrave.
Amanda’s other little cousin, Khloe Noland also plans to make those goals and dreams a reality.
“I’m going to follow her steps by being a cheerleader and then I’m going to work at Texas Roadhouse like she always did,” confirmed Noland.
