Amanda Linyear Davis
Knightdale, North Carolina
Age 41.
Died 09/11/2023.
Amanda Linyear Davis was born on May 9, 1982, to Mr. Howard and Mrs. Barbara Linyear at Homestead Air Force Base in Florida. She went on to be with the Lord on Monday, September 11, 2023.
She is survived by her loving husband of 19 years, Eric Fred Davis, and their three beautiful children – Samuel Eric Davis (12), Nathaniel Aaron Davis (8), and Abigail Grace Davis (3). She also leaves behind her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Linyear, her younger sister Brittney Linyear Asirifi-Addo, and her husband Samuel Asirifi-Addo, her nephews Samuel Michael (SJ) and Isaiah, her in-laws, Mr. Fred and Mrs. Evelyn Davis, Eric’s sister Freda Clifton and her husband Thomas Clifton along with their children Thomas, Rekyiah, Khalil, and Alijah Clifton.
She was an amazing wife and mother who loved to read, listen to the Word, and spend time with her family.
Eric and Amanda were high school sweethearts. They were married on July 24, 2004, the same year Amanda received a bachelor’s degree in Math Education from NC State University. They were always committed disciples in the house of God and steadily grew in stature to become leaders in the church.
Amanda devoted her life to teaching and loving children, including the unborn. At the time of her passing, she was the principal of Christian Life Academy and had started a nonprofit named Choose Life Raleigh that was devoted to saving the lives of unborn children and helping pregnant mothers.
We were blessed for the short time we had with Amanda. We know she is with the Lord, and we will see her again!

An immediate burial has the same end result as a traditional burial; however, we have eliminated the extra (sometimes unnecessary) services prior to getting to the cemetery. Not everyone wants an open casket for viewing or a limousine for the family. Despite the term immediate, we can move as fast as you need or as slow as you like. This option simply allows you to save money by eliminating some of the fancy extras at the funeral home.
$6081.48
We offer the same traditional funeral services as the big corporately owned funeral homes in the area; however, we cost about half the amount. You might consider a traditional funeral service if your family is looking for an open casket visitation, a traditional church service or a funeral service in the funeral home's chapel. A traditional funeral service can be altered to fit the needs of your family.
