Amanda Eileen Condit, 89, of Henry, died at 6:19 AM on September 29, 2018. She was born May 13, 1929 in rural Washburn to the late Edward and Philomena Vogel Knoblauch. She married Donald Condit of Lacon on November 22, 1952 at St. Elizabeth Catholic Church in Washburn. He preceded her in death on July 8, 2013. Surviving are: sons Bradley Condit of Lacon & Todd (Amy) Condit of Putnam; Six grandchildren: Jacy, Tawney, Jason, Ryan, Ethan, & Grace, and one great grandchild, Triston.
She was preceded in death by her sister Mary Ellen Scheirer of Metamora and brothers William Knoblauch of Washington & Eugene Knoblauch of Washburn.
Amanda attended Washburn High School and Browns Business College in Peoria. She worked at the Washburn bank for several years. Don and Amanda farmed in the Lacon and Putnam areas for many years. They also operated Condit's Riding Stable for 42 years. She was very proud of the work she was able to do with the Girl Scouts and helping them earn their Horsemanship Badges. Amanda was a member of the Immaculate conception Altar and Rosary Society, AISWCD Auxilary, Marshall-Putnam Heart Association, Marshall-Putnam Republican Women's Club and an Election Judge for many years.
Amanda will be dearly missed by her family, friends, and all those who knew her. She always put others first-whether it was attending grandkids events, church activities, or
simply sending her love through a card or baked good. Her humble heart and kindness will never be forgotten.
