Amanda Cass

COLEBROOK – With deepest sorrow, the family of Amanda Taylor Cass, 22, of Colebrook, announces that she left this world unexpectedly on Monday, Oct. 4, 2021, at the Catholic Medical Center in Manchester, NH. Amanda was born on September 21, 1999, in Colebrook, NH, a daughter to Lisa Champagne and Corey Cass. Amanda grew up in Colebrook, and Braintree, Vt., where she attended Colebrook Elementary, Braintree Elementary, Randolph Union High School, and Randolph Community Technical Center. After graduating Amanda worked at Lucky’s Trailer Sales in South Royalton Vt., where she had wonderful mentors. She then split firewood at Colton Enterprises in Pittsfield, Vt. Amanda knew she belonged back to her roots in the Great North Woods of New Hampshire. She moved to Colebrook and eventually worked for Clark Jeffers, proudly driving heavy equipment (most likely barefoot!) Working in the gravel pit, she took great care not to damage the trucks while loading them up. Most recently, Amanda operated her own welding business. She welded machinery and created amazing pieces of metal art, all while proudly wearing a French manicure and her beautiful long brown hair tucked into her welding helmet. Those who knew Amanda, even just a little, have lost a shining light in their lives. Amanda had an eye for beauty and a love for nature, whether it was noticing wildlife in a far-away field or stopping on the side of the road to pick flowers for her mother. Every animal she met she would stop and acknowledge. She could be found hiking, fishing, hunting, catching baby deer, mice, turkeys or turtles, or singing to the birds at night. Amanda was wild and free and will forever be a true angel. Amanda is survived by her partner Troy Lambert of Colebrook; her parents, Lisa and Andrew Allard of Braintree, Vt.; her sisters, Jessica Cass (Donavan Harris) of Taunton, Mass., Emily Cass of Vershire, Vt., Ashley Allard of Granville, Vt.; nephews and nieces: Riley, Brianna, Owen, Levi, Brook and Hannah; her maternal grandparents, Andre & Francine Champagne of Stewartstown; two aunts, Elaine Champagne (Rob Nadeau) of Berlin, NH, and Nicole Champagne (Chris Wilson) of Virginia Beach, VA; two uncles, Steve (Regina) Cass of Columbia and Daniel Cass of Colebrook; and many beloved cousins. Amanda was predeceased by her paternal grandparents, Robert and Barbara Cass of Columbia, as well as her brothers, Nathan Allard (2007) and Zachary Allard (2018) of Braintree. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, October 16, 2021, at the American Legion Hall, Canaan, Vt., from 2 to 5 p.m. Burial services for immediate family will take place at a later date. Expressions of sympathy in memory of Amanda can be made to the Randolph Technical Community College, Randolph, Vt. Funeral arrangements are entrusted to the care of Jenkins & Newman Funeral Home.
