Amanda Christi Allen

Amanda Christi Allan, age 42, of Newnan, GA, passed away on June 2, 2026. She was born on March 8, 1984, in Atlanta, Georgia, to the late William Jeffrey Odom, Sr., and Wanda Davis Odom. Amanda was a deeply caring mother, devoted daughter, and inspiring sister; she was a true artist in every aspect of her life. She loved without boundaries or hesitation, nurturing everyone around her. Though she is profoundly missed, the vibrant masterpiece of her love, strength, and creativity will forever illuminate our lives. She approached life not just as a journey, but as a canvas to be painted with acts of endless devotion. As a mother, she was the heart of the home, creating a sanctuary of warmth, encouragement, and boundless patience. Her children were her greatest art, and she guided them with a gentle hand and inspiring spirit. As a daughter, she was the constant source of comfort, wisdom, and joy. She honored her family's roots while enriching their present, always putting the needs of her elders and loved ones before her own. As a sister, she was a fierce advocate, a trusted confidante, and a lifelong friend. Her loyalty knew no limits, and she celebrated the triumphs of her siblings as if they were her own. She cared for everyone without questioning, seeing the inherent value and beauty in every person she met. Much like a visionary artist, she saw potential where others saw flaws and brought color to the grayest of days. Her legacy is not written in stone, but in the countless lives she touched, uplifted, and inspired. She taught us how to love fiercely, give generously, and live authentically. While the brush may have left her hand, the beautiful mosaic of her life continues to inspire everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. May her memory continue to be a guiding light, reminding us to approach the world with a caring heart and artist's soul. Along with her mother, Amanda is survived by her four children, Gabrielle Ellis, Olivia Ellis, Dominic Ellis, and Damien Ellis; sister Brittney Odom; brother William J. Odom; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Condolences to the family can be expressed online at www.mckoon.com. McKoon Funeral Home & Crematory (770) 253-4580
