Amanda Joy Love

Amanda Joy Love (age 44) of Hilliard, OH. It is with great sorrow to the family that Amanda has passed away September 3rd, 2020 at 2:36 am. Born July 2nd, 1976 to Lisa J. Ridings (Kennis), father, Ryan J. Casey, biological father, Gary Miller. Amanda was a devoted Christian, devoted wife, loving mother, gracious daughter, wonderful sister and precious friend to many. She will leave with us all her strong faith, tremendous courage, and never ending faith in the Lord. She received an associates and bachelor's degree in substance abuse counseling and theology at Ohio Christian University and was pursuing her master's in clinical mental health counseling at Ashland Theological Seminary. Like an angel on earth, Amanda loved helping and giving to other people. And a giver she was! She was a wonderful witness with a testimony we will never forget. We should find comfort knowing that in her time of suffering, she was held up in prayer and is now at peace.
