Amanda "Manda" Marie Knight, 41, of Concord, New Hampshire, died on January 15, 2023, at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston after unexpected complications from surgery. Manda, daughter of Randy and Sandy Boisvert, was born in Leominster, MA on February 26, 1981.  She graduated from Gardner High School in 1999 and attended Bridgewater State, receiving a Bachelor of Arts in 2006.  Manda then received a Masters Degree in Special Education from Plymouth State College in 2009.  She married the love of her life, Andy Knight, on August 12, 2006.

Manda's career took her on many different paths, but always with the purpose of supporting and helping others.  She taught English, Special Education and Math throughout her teaching career and felt passionate about broadening the minds of youth.  Always a planner and organizer, she also held a Real Estate License and ran and operated her own business, First Tracks, managing rental properties in the White Mountains.  She was active with her local chapter of the Appalachian Mountain Club, volunteering many hours towards organizing programs and events.

Anyone who knew Manda knew her as a passionate, goal driven, organized and fierce woman.  She loved spending her time outdoors with her husband, her dogs, and the many friends that she made wherever she went.  You would find her rock climbing, backpacking, skiing, roller skating, playing ultimate frisbee, or planning group trips and adventures.  She was an avid traveler and enjoyed any new adventure that she could find.  Wherever she went, people were drawn to her positive energy and spirit.

In addition to her parents, she is survived by her loving and devoted husband, Andy Knight of Concord and their dog Frank; her parents, Sandy and Randy Boisvert of Phillipston, MA her brother Joey Boisvert of Philipston, MA; her mother-in-law and father-in-law, Lois and Wally Knight of St. Johnsbury, VT; her brothers-in-law, Patrick Knight and his wife Cori, and Christopher Knight; and her sister-in-law Abigail Strausbaugh and her husband Chad; and nieces and nephews-Holly, Eliana, Meadow, Kaia, and Eli Knight.

Manda left us far too soon, but even in her death she continued to care for others, saving at least 4 lives as she donated her organs to help others survive.  She will be missed widely and intensely by so many people whose lives that she impacted.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
