Amanda Lucile Evans

Amanda L. Evans died on Friday, March 8th in her home in Bridgeport from complications of heart disease. Born in Murray, UT on May, 10, 1977, she moved out east and married in 1999. She earned a journalism degree from Housatonic with a 4.0 GPA and attended Columbia University to pursue a film degree, which only economic adversity prevented her from completing. A writer, debater, and activist, she cared deeply and was passionate about many things, including politics and animals and movies, but especially the numerous people who loved her and relied on her friendship to steady and guide them. A confidante to many, she was dependable and outgoing, but gentle and private. She was sensitive and empathic to a fault, and a perfectionist with exquisite taste and strongly-held, well-reasoned opinions. With a daunting intellect, she excelled at whatever she put her mind to, but her greatest accomplishment was the impact she had on the lives of all who knew her. Her potential was never fully realized and the world is a darker place without her. She is survived by her husband, Steven Sudit; her parents, Mont and Cheryl Evans; her siblings, Nicolas (Michelle) Evans, Jonathan Evans, and Elizabeth (Trevor) Doney; brother-in-law Gene (Sarah) Sudit; her nephews and nieces, Addison and Lucy Doney; Mylee, Cole, Nicole, and Blake Evans; Abigail and Gabrielle Sudit; and distant cousin but close friend, Lisa Hilton. She was preceded in death by Truman and Christoph, the cats she loved as children; aunts DeAnn Evans and Sherrel Rae Evans (Richard) Burgoyne, and too many others. Funeral services will be held on March 16th, 2 PM, at Larkin Mortuary in Riverton, UT. In lieu of flowers, Amanda's family and friends request donations be made in her name to Tiny Kittens at http://www.tinykittens.com/donate.
