May 27, 1987 – Feb. 22, 2022
LVCVA Communications Manager & KTNV Channel 13 “Morning Blend” Producer
She was a 2005 graduate of Coronado High School, and attended Arizona State University, where she joined Kappa Alpha Theta sorority and received a bachelor’s degree in 2009 from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. She was active with public relations and marketing professional organizations in the Las Vegas area, and a mentor for an organization that she loved, Best Buddies of Nevada.
Journalist Jeff Heilman who covers travel, leisure, lifestyle and the global meetings and events industry wrote on Facebook, “From the day we first met in Vegas in 2016, to her NYC visit in 2017, to our tour of under-construction AREA15 in 2019, Amanda Kate Peters lit up the world around her. Her passion for her work and Las Vegas became my own. Even after leaving the LVCVA, she helped with connections and story ideas. You made a big difference in all of our lives, sweet angel—we will never forget you.”
She is survived by her husband, Brandon Peters, her mother, Denise (Dorn) Arentsen, her uncle Russ Dorn, aunt Lynn (Dorn) Stangeland, and more heartbroken friends and family members than can be counted.
Services were held March 12 at St. Viator Catholic Community Church in Las Vegas, NV. In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to Best Buddies of Nevada or Opportunity Village.
