Amanda Anne Niebergall
June 4th, 2021
It is with deep love and much sorrow that we announce the passing of Amanda on June 4, 2021.
Amanda was diagnosed with Stage 4 cervical cancer in May 2018. She fought her disease with enormous courage, with dignity and with a deep compassion for those around her. She lived through the progression of the disease until her peaceful passing at the Regina Pasqua Hospital Palliative Care Unit at the age of 33.
Amanda was born January 20, 1988 in Regina, SK. She was an intelligent, caring extrovert that loved her family and friends fiercely. She was a very giving person and always tried to help when she could. She especially loved her adopted nieces and nephews and spending special time with them so that they knew how much she loved them.
Amanda had found her passion in life working with young children and really enjoyed her time at the Regina Early Learning Center. After Amanda’s diagnosis she became a passionate advocate for the elimination of cervical cancer and had board positions with HPV Global Action and CPAC (Canadian Partnership against Cervical Cancer) as a patient advocate. Her hope was that no one would have to go through what she had experienced.
Amanda will be deeply missed and remembered by her father Glenn Niebergall; mother Laura Bernier (Paul Saum); her brother Shane Niebergall (Ashton Malcolm) and niece Charlotte; stepbrother D’Arcy Saum (Amy) and their children Eleanor and Lou; stepsisters Michele Saum (JR) and their son Charles and Megan Saum; her grandmother Phyllis Niebergall and a host of extended family and friends from across Canada and the world.
We extend our gratitude to the many nurses and doctors that were with Amanda through her journey. Special thanks to everyone at the Regina Allan Blair Cancer Centre, Dr. Al-Hayke, Dr. Ahmjad and nurses Dana, Cindy, Robin and Lacey. To Amanda’s cousins Becky Laursen and Kim Friedrich words will never express how much your love and support meant to Amanda as she faced and went through treatment, we thank you for always being there for her.
If you wish in lieu of flowers, we would request donations to be sent to HPV Global Action or The Regina Early Learning Center in Amanda’s memory.
We will be having a Celebration of Life at a later date, details to follow.

I went to Saskatchewan Polytechnic with Amanda. In a scary sea full of new unfamiliar faces Amanda was a ray of light. I sat next to her every day and she honestly gave me a sense of worth. She was always so happy and friendly. She even organized a class lunch at the restaurant she worked at and sparked lifelong friendships. Thank you so much Amanda for your kindness and joy. You'll be dearly missed and forever appreciated.
Karen and I are so sorry for your loss. Rmm33

Keith and I knew Amanda when we worked in Regina. We knew her when she worked at Broadway Pizza. She was always very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed her talks and smiles. Prayers going out to the family
Such a hard and awful task to have to write an obituary for your only daughter, Laura. Our hearts are full for you.
What sad, heartbreaking news. I had the good fortune to meet Amanda last February in Toronto At the CPAC Elimination of Cervical Cancer in Canada. She was a vibrant, loving young woman with a heart as big as her voice! And thank goodness for that voice. Amanda was such a strong powerful voice for everyone involved intimately with cancer. And then she shared her innermost thoughts and experiences relating to her personal journey through cervical cancer. This is another loss your family and our world did not need. And another example of why we need to continue sharing her message and educating others regarding the ability to eliminate Cervical Cancer. Blessings, Dear Amanda, we will continue the fight and hope you can travel with us in your continued journeys. With heartfelt condolences, Linda Wu
