Amanda "Andi" Rose Denny, 33, passed away on Thursday, October 5, 2023, at her residence.  Wake services will begin at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, October 6, 2023, and will continue until her funeral service, which will be at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 7, 2023, all at Our Saviour's Lutheran Church with Douglas Standing Rock officiating.  Holland & Bonine Funeral Home has been entrusted with arrangements.

Andi was born on June 11, 1990, in Great Falls, Montana, to Jennifer Denny-Greybull and Elmo Bailey Jr. and raised in Rocky Boy, MT.  She attended school in Rocky Boy, Box Elder, and Havre, until 2009 when she left and enrolled in the Anaconda Job Corp where she obtained her GED and a certificate in welding in 2010.  Shortly after, she moved to Colorado for several years with friends and began to work as a laborer, building wind turbines, and then moving on to work for a stage lighting company before moving home in 2021.  Here, she started working for the Professional Transportation Inc. through the BNSF for a short time.  From there, Amanda began working as an assistant manager and floor attendant in the casinos where she met a lot of people and made many friends.  During this time she met her significant other, Kyndyll McGarvey, and together they adopted a baby boy in 2022 who she loved with all her heart.

Amanda loved fishing, being in the mountains, hiking, movies, playing video games, writing poetry, playing the guitar, hanging out with friends, and being with family, laughing and telling jokes, collecting rocks and seashells and painting.  She was a very kind, sensitive, loving person with a big heart full of love, caring, and compassion and putting others before herself to help in any way she could to make any situation better.  Her presence, laughter, smiles, silliness, hugs, kisses and saying "I Love You" will surely be missed.  Amanda also wanted her family to know she didn't want us to be sad and mourn for our loss but to remember all the good and happy times we've had while she was here with us.  Amanda will be greatly missed.

Amanda is survived by her son, Remington; mother, Jennifer Denny Greybull; father, Elmo Bailey Jr.; her siblings: Britany Daychild, Patricia Huntley, and Dell (Janene) Huntley; her grandmother, Joyce Huntley; her significant other, Kyndyll McGarvey and stepson Koston Ardizzone; along with numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, close friends, and extended family.

Amanda was preceded in death by her grandfathers, Earl "Manny" Huntley, George Stump Denny, and Elmo (Sonny) Bailey; grandmothers, Elma Greybull, and Lyda Huntley-Powless; and aunts, Donna Denny-St. Pierre and Merceline Bailey.  We apologize if we missed any other people and names.
