Amanda Grace Conrow
Dates of life 1/20/2009-2/8/2015
Amanda Grace Conrow, affectionately known as “Panda,” was born in Rochester, NY, and lived a short but impactful life until her passing on February 8, 2015, at the age of 6. She had stunning blue eyes, loved the color purple, and watched the movie Despicable Me at least 100 times (she dressed up as Agnes for halloween!). She was surrounded by a loving family, including her parents Liz and Paul, and her siblings Samantha, Michael, Jessica, and Emily,. Amanda’s life, though brief, touched many hearts and left a lasting impression on her community.
During her battle with cancer, Amanda found joy and support at Camp Good Days. She particularly loved attending brain tumor weekend with her family, where she delighted in the dress-up cabin and bouncing on the special bouncy pillow. These experiences provided Amanda with precious moments of happiness and normalcy during her challenging journey. The camp’s programs, designed to improve the quality of life for children and families affected by cancer, became an integral part of Amanda’s life.
The Conrow family’s connection to Camp Good Days extended beyond Amanda’s time as a camper. They actively participated in fundraising efforts, with Amanda enthusiastically selling kazoos at the mall with her family around the holidays. This activity not only supported the camp but also created cherished memories for the family. The Conrows remain deeply grateful for the unwavering support provided by Camp Good Days, both during Amanda’s treatment and after her passing. The camp’s dedication to creating “good days and special times” for children like Amanda has left an indelible mark on the family and continues to honor her memory.
