Amanda Murro Shea of Louisville, KY Has Died—Louisville, Kentucky, is mourning the sudden and heartbreaking loss of Amanda Murro Shea, a talented Realtor at Collective Roots Agency whose vibrant personality and genuine love for people left an unforgettable mark on her community.

A graduate of the University of Louisville, Amanda built both her education and career in the city she loved. Over the years, she became known not only for her work in real estate but also for the warmth, humor, and authenticity she brought into every interaction. Clients often became friends, and friends quickly became family.

Renee Abner reflected on how life kept bringing them back into each other’s orbit, growing up near one another, sharing school hallways, mutual friends, and eventually the same career path. She recalled speaking with Amanda just a week before her passing, a conversation that now feels painfully precious. A photo taken on a disposable camera at the 1999 Summer Sanitarium concert, just after graduation, captures Amanda in her youth, full of life and possibility, unaware of the journey ahead. Looking at it now feels surreal, a snapshot of a moment suspended in time.

Erin Quatman shared her disbelief upon hearing the news, describing Amanda as someone who “never knew a stranger.” She remembered her as uniquely full of life, the kind of person whose energy filled every room. Her heart, she said, aches for Amanda’s wife and family as they navigate this unimaginable loss.

For Ashby Eggers, Amanda was more than a friend; she was an aunt, a rock, and a constant source of laughter and support. She described Amanda as “my person,” the first call for good news, bad news, or a funny story. Amanda’s joy in hearing others’ stories, her ability to make people feel seen and celebrated, and her unwavering support defined her relationships. She was a light, someone who wanted to know you, encourage you, and stand beside you, even if you had just met.

Her passing, described as sudden and tragically timed over Valentine’s Day weekend, has left Louisville in shock. While the specifics remain private, the grief is public and profound. Amanda Murro Shea will be remembered for her laughter, her loyalty, and the love she so freely gave. Her legacy lives on in the countless lives she touched in friendships, in family bonds, and in the city she proudly called home.
