Lake City Mourns the Loss of Amanda Locklair, 40, Beloved Wife, Mother, and Friend Whose Warmth Touched All Who Knew Her

Lake City, SC – With heavy hearts, the community of Lake City, South Carolina, is mourning the passing of Amanda Locklair, a beloved wife, mother, daughter, and friend, who died on April 8, 2025, at the age of 40. Amanda’s death has left an irreplaceable void in the lives of those who loved her—a vibrant and compassionate woman whose presence radiated love, kindness, and unwavering dedication to her family.

Amanda is survived by her devoted husband, Ron Locklair, and their cherished children: Tatum, Brody, Tori, Taylor, Tristin, and Tyler. She leaves behind a large circle of family and friends who are struggling to come to terms with the sudden loss of a woman many described as “the heart of every room.”

A Life Full of Light

Amanda Locklair was known throughout her community not only for her deep love for her family but for the warmth she extended to everyone she encountered. Whether she was volunteering at school functions, cheering on her children at local sports games, or offering a helping hand to a neighbor in need, Amanda’s energy was deeply rooted in compassion and service. Friends say her laughter was infectious, her hugs comforting, and her advice always honest and heartfelt.

“Amanda was the kind of person who remembered everyone’s birthday and would show up at your door just to say she was thinking of you,” said a longtime family friend. “She had a gift for making people feel loved and seen. This world feels colder without her.”

Her love for her family was the guiding force of her life. As a mother of six, Amanda juggled the challenges of parenting with incredible grace. Her children were her pride and joy, and she poured her heart into raising them with values of kindness, resilience, and respect. Each of her children carries with them the legacy of her nurturing spirit and the countless memories of a mother who was always there—with a smile, a meal, or a word of encouragement.

Community Shock and Support

News of Amanda’s passing spread quickly through Lake City and the surrounding areas, with an outpouring of grief and support flooding in for the Locklair family. Friends, neighbors, and community members have gathered in both physical and virtual spaces to share memories, prayers, and heartfelt condolences. Social media has been filled with tributes celebrating Amanda’s generous heart and the countless lives she touched.

One community member wrote, “Amanda was the light in so many lives. It’s hard to imagine our town without her smile and spirit. She was a second mom to many of our kids, and her absence is felt deeply.”

Local churches have offered prayer services in her honor, and a meal train has been organized by neighbors to support the Locklair family during this time of mourning. The sense of shared loss is palpable, yet so is the sense of unity—Amanda brought people together in life, and even in death, her spirit continues to draw the community closer.

Remembering Amanda’s Spirit

While the sorrow is deep, those who knew Amanda are choosing to remember the beauty of her life rather than the pain of her loss. She was a woman who celebrated the little things—a sunrise, a family dinner, the laughter of her children. She taught others to find joy in the everyday moments and to never take a single day for granted.

Amanda’s memory will live on not only in the hearts of her husband and children but in the lives of everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. Her legacy is one of love, loyalty, and light—a reminder of the power of a kind heart and the difference one person can make in the lives of many.

Her family has asked that those who wish to honor Amanda do so by spreading the kindness she embodied: reach out to a friend, support a neighbor, or donate to a cause that brings love and light to the world. That is how Amanda lived, and that is how she would want to be remembered.
