Amanda Jo Davenport Campbell passed away on April 11th, 2025, from pneumonia and a very long, complicated illness. She was born May 21st, 1980, to Roger Ivan Davenport and Jane Randell (Sorensen). She was the baby in the family until Taylor was born to our dad and stepmom when Amanda was 12. She grew up in Caldwell and Nampa, graduating from Vallivue High School in 1998. She then attended LDS Business College and graduated with an associate degree in business. On September 9, 2006, she married her "man," as she called him, Paul Campbell, in the Boise LDS Temple. They were sealed there for time and all eternity. After struggling with infertility and numerous treatments, they conceived a son, Ivan Paul Campbell, who was born on April 9th, 2013. He was born too early and passed away 2 days later on April 11th. After doing more fertility treatments, Paul and Amanda were blessed to be expecting twins, and after a hard pregnancy, they welcomed George Paul and Jane Evelyn Campbell. Amanda had numerous jobs throughout her life …she was a supervisor for a call center and worked at a bank and for a trucking company, but after she became a mom, she cleaned houses. All Amanda ever wanted was to be a mom. I remember her saying when we were young she wanted, like, 10 kids. That was not in the cards for her, but she had enough love in her heart for that many. She was around when Alexander was a baby and loved him and doted on him like he was her own, and they had a very special relationship. Amanda was a spitfire from the very beginning, not unlike her daughter Jane. I remember she was always getting into trouble; Mom was always searching for her in our neighborhood because she wandered off all the time. She had no fear and thought everyone was her friend. She didn't always listen when she was told to do something either. Hence the Burger King incident. We were on our way home from a trip to Utah and stopped at a Burger King in Burley for something to eat, and Amanda was running around and climbing all over and did not want to come down. She ended up slipping down the rungs of this ladder and breaking her femur. Her little fingers were too small to get around the rungs. She ended up getting an ambulance ride back to Caldwell and had to have surgery and be in traction and a half-body cast for quite a while. She really loved to embarrass my mom by telling people how old she was when we went through the checkout at the grocery store. She was young and tried to make you believe that she didn't know what she was doing, but she knew exactly what she was doing. Amanda always had a deep faith and love for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and loved our Heavenly Father. During her teen years she lost the attitude and was such a strength to my mom and loved to include her in activities with her friends. She even let my mom and me tag along to a special dinner at a French restaurant in Boise with her French club. My parents won a settlement from Burger King, and my mom saved that money for her. She was able to go to France and Switzerland with her French club and had the time of her life there. She was also able to buy her first car and pay for her college with that money. So I guess not minding paid off for her. She served as Laurel president in Young Women's, and I remember being so proud that she was such a good girl, unlike me, lol. She loved camping, and the summer after her senior year, she worked at Silver Creek Plunge and lived up there. It was hard on my mom to be an empty nester, but Amanda had so much fun; she was sure in her element. We grew up camping a lot, and she always wanted to camp more with the kids. Jeremy and I would go on trips with Amanda and Paul before kids, and we always had the best time ever. We went to Disneyland and LA , but my favorite trip was to Leavenworth, Washington. They had already been there on their honeymoon, so she was so excited to show us everything, and one of the nights we went to see the play The Sound of Music; it was in the mountains at an outdoor amphitheater. It was so awesome. They had to make sure we went to King Ludwig's for schnitzel and sausages, and we also got funny German pictures taken; we all had such a wonderful time. She loved cooking and baking, and I can't think about fruit tarts without thinking of Amanda. She loved cooking shows and would try new recipes from them. We all started watching the Great British Baking Show because of Amanda. Amanda was always so full of life, and her beautiful smile was always there to brighten your day. Amanda liked to go on adventures: camping, fishing, hiking, picking huckleberries, gardening, and growing her own food and preserving it made her so happy. What made Amanda most happy in this life was Paul, George, and Jane. They were her whole world; she was so proud of them and proud to be a wife and mother. It was unfortunate that her health started deteriorating about a year after the twins were born. Starting with a burst appendix and multiple surgeries, she developed fibromyalgia and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, which caused her to not absorb nutrients, and her immune system took a bad turn, and she was often sick. A little over 2 years ago we almost lost her from pneumonia and sepsis, and she was in a coma for about 3 weeks. Since that time she has just been so weak and in so much pain all the time. I know she was upset she did not feel good enough to do all the fun stuff with the kids that she wanted, but she still made the best of things until her poor body just wore out. She was still the one who always wanted to take lots of pictures at family gatherings. She was always taking pictures of the kids and sending them to me. She loved to travel and experience new things and new foods. She always loved music. I have so many fun memories of listening to music in the car on trips and cleaning house with her with the music blasting when we were younger. One of the last things I sent to her before she got sick was a funny video along to the song Shoop, and she texted me back and told me she and Jane danced to it and just laughed; she said she needed that. She also loved going to our grandparents house and painting ceramics and just spending time with them. Amanda was so outgoing before her illness; she loved holding our annual cookie club and donating cookies to a homeless shelter or the women's and children's home. She always made friends wherever she went. She loved to talk to just about anyone, sometimes whether they wanted to talk or not. Lol. Paul said some of his favorite memories with Amanda were on their wedding day. When he saw her in her wedding dress and when they walked out of the Boise Temple, it was the happiest day of his life. On the one-year anniversary of Ivan's passing, they went to Las Vegas, and on the way back, they stopped at the St. George Temple. When they were in the visitors center, they received a powerful testimony of the Gospel and of Ivan; they were going to be ok. Amanda always worked so hard to make Christmas special for their family. Seeing her work pay off and the kids' excited faces on Christmas morning was due to her. I know she loved going on one-on-one dates with the kids. They loved to do fun things with her. She is survived by her husband, Paul Campbell; her kids, George and Jane; her mother, Jane, and stepfather, Gary; sisters Shelly Kahle (Jeremy) and Taylor Davenport; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews; her in-laws, Denice and Jerry Campbell; several stepbrothers, Gary, Ben, Todd, and Michael; and stepsister Tasha. She was preceded in death by both sets of grandparents, 2 aunts, her precious son Ivan, and just 9 months ago her brother Duane. Her illness consumed her life the last few years, but she always had an unwavering testimony of our Savior Jesus Christ, our Heavenly Father, and the plan of the Gospel . She knew that families will be together forever, and she is having a sweet reunion with her son Ivan and the rest of our beloved family. To know Amanda was to love her; there was not a judgmental bone in her body, and her smile could light up the darkest room. I know that she will be missed terribly , but I do find some comfort in that she is no longer in pain and struggling every day. Amanda, we love you forever. A viewing will be held from 6-8pm at Zeyer Funeral Chapel on Thursday, April 16th. Graveside services will be held on Friday the 18th at 11 am at Kohlerlawn Cemetery in Nampa, Idaho, with a luncheon to follow.
