Mrs. Amanda C. Hale, age 47, of Moss, TN, passed away on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, at Celina Health and Rehabilitation Center.

Funeral Services will be held Saturday, July 11, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. in the Chapel of Upton-Hay Funeral Home with Jason Thompson officiating and interment to follow in the Ray Williams Cemetery.

She was born on Sunday, December 3, 1978, to Connie (Scott) and Roy Johnson. In addition to her father, she was also preceded in death by both maternal and paternal grandparents; as well as a host of aunts and uncles.

Amanda married her husband of 26 years in May of 2000, finished college and began teaching here in Clay County shortly thereafter. The countless number of children’s lives she has impacted over the years is truly remarkable. She was far more than just a teacher. She had the heart of a servant, and a smile that could light up the darkest of days.

She enjoyed teaching, traveling, an occasional shopping trip, and attending church at Unionhill Church of Christ. However, nothing compared to the enjoyment she experienced when spending time with her boys. She was truly the happiest while chasing them between all the things they love to do. Riding motorcycles, playing sports, it didn’t matter as long as they were spending time together.

Amanda is survived by her spouse, Clayton Hale; sons, Zander and Hobie Hale; mother, Connie Johnson; sister, Kim Head (Gary); as well as a host of family and friends that will mourn her passing.

The Upton-Hay Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of Mrs. Amanda C. Hale.
