Amanda Nicole (Weiman) Bahler

Amanda Nicole (Weiman) Bahler of Eugene, OR, went to be with her savior July 25, 2014. Her husband and family were by her side. She lost her valiant battle with cancer, but won victory in eternal life. Her struggle with cancer over the last 6 months is documented in her blog: amandanbahler@blogspot.com.

Amanda was born in Renton, WA on March 28, 1984 and resided in Auburn WA until 2004. She graduated from Auburn High in 2002 and Green River Community College in 2004 with an AA. Amanda spent a year in Walla Walla with her sister Jill, attending classes and as a classroom aid. Her passions for helping others lead her to an internship for a year at the Young Life Washington Family Ranch in Antelope OR. Upon completion of her internship she moved to Eugene and attended U of O receiving her BS degree in Family and Human Services in 2012.

While living in Eugene, Amanda met Ryan Bahler in 2009 and they married in 2011. She served as office administrator for University Fellowship Church and Director of the Camp Agape program, providing a summer camp experience for children of incarcerated parents. Amanda’s compassion and love for others was evident to all she met. She and Ryan enjoyed their two dogs, hiking, camping, trips to the beach and serving God through serving others.

Amanda is survived by her husband Ryan, her parents Gary and Karen Weiman, sisters Kjrstin Weiman and Jill Gentry, and brother Glen Weiman. Others include brother-in-law Brad Gentry and her nephews Joel and Grayson Gentry and niece Ella Gentry.
