She is survived by her son, Jaxson Hall ; sister, Kimberly Cooper; brother Jeffrey Crouse; step-brother, Jonah Crouse; step-sister, Samantha Malone; grandmother, Dollie Pack; beloved friend, Amy Herrin; and many extended family members and friends.

Growing up in Southwest Virginia, Amanda fell in love with bluegrass and gospel music.  She sang beautiful harmonies and played mandolin with the Family Heirs, Pack N the Grass, and Messengers for Christ.

Flossy was a spunky jokester who loved to laugh and make others laugh.  She was known for her many gifts and talents. She loved family and friends and was very protective. She had a life and light that she freely gave others, extending an endless stream of love for those that were special to her.  Throughout her life she remained sensitive, caring, and kind-hearted, a beautiful and persevering steel magnolia. Although she faced many difficulties, she always found a way to keep smiling and encouraging others.  Flossy will be remembered for her radiant smile and ability to light up a room.

Over the last year, she gave her love and dedication to the Hope Center and Compassion Church in Suffolk, Virginia.
