From Grandon Funeral and Cremation Care obituary, Ames, Story County, Iowa:

Amanda (Shuka) Law, age 23, of Ames left this life and went to meet her Lord on Sunday July 21 after a 6 month battle with Leukemia. A gathering of friends and family will be held from 4:30-7:30 p.m. Thursday July 25, at Oakwood Road Church 2400 Oakwood Drive Ames. A celebration of life service will be held at 10:30 a.m. Friday, July 26 at the same location followed immediately by a graveside service. All are invited to join the family for lunch at Oakwood Road Church following the graveside service. The church building will be open an hour before the service on Friday for any wishing to have a moment to say goodbye to Amanda.

Amanda was born on April 25, 1990 in Ames to Robert and Rebecca (Peterson) Shuka. She was home schooled and went on to graduate from Iowa State University in Elementary Education with specialization in Special Education. She was married to Ben Law on July 16, 2011. She was employed at Anything Scout as the office manager before retiring because of her health.

Amanda had a true servant's heart born of her love for and faith in God. Her love was felt by many, especially by many children and her joy blessed many people throughout her life. She and her husband, Ben, were always at the front of the line to serve others. Amanda was a loving daughter and a devoted sister. She was always on the lookout for the well-being of her 4 younger brothers. Amanda was very industrious, never wanting to be idle. When she wasn't already serving others, she was busy making sure she was prepared to serve when the next opportunity arose. Teaching children, making baby blankets by the dozens and scrapbooking and crafting with the children that she surrounded herself with continually were just a few of the things that brought joy to her and to others. In the last two years, she delighted in being Ben's wife and creating a home with him, not surprisingly, a home that would allow them to continually host, serve, and bless others even more. Amanda leaves a selfless legacy of placing others before herself. Her faithful presence will be greatly missed and lovingly remembered.

Amanda is survived by her husband, Ben Law of Ames, her parents Robert and Rebecca Shuka and brothers, Michael, Jonathan, Matthew and Stephen Shuka all of Ames, paternal grandmother, Elizabeth Shuka of Ames and maternal grandfather, Myrle (LaVerna) Peterson of Des Moines.

She was preceded in death by her Grandmother Wanita Peterson and Grandfather Walter Shuka.

Grandon Funeral and Cremation Care is assisting the family with services for Amanda.
