Amanda June Onion

Amanda June Onion, age 45, passed away at her childhood home in Glen Ellyn, Ilinois on Sunday, July 7th, 2024. Amanda was a kind and compassionate soul that was fiercely protective of anyone and anything that she cared about. She was a devoted wife, sister and daughter and always made her family a priority. Amanda found her true calling and her passion working with MCP Rescue and Outreach where she dedicated herself to rescuing animals in need and finding them loving homes.
