Celebration of life planned for Amanda Blackburn

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – Amanda Blackburn, an Indianapolis mother and pastor’s wife murdered in her home this week, will be remembered in a celebration of life ceremony this weekend.

“We are going to worship, share the gospel through sharing Amanda’s story, laugh together and cry together. Her heart would be that you invite as many people as possible to this celebration service that do not know the Lord,” Davey Blackburn wrote in his message after thanking everyone for their support.

An online obituary said the name of the couple’s unborn daughter was Everett “Evie” Grace Blackburn.

Amanda Blackburn was shot Tuesday morning in the 2800 block of Sunnyfield Court. Police continue to search for a suspect or suspects in the crime and ask that if you have any information that could help in their investigation, call Crime Stoppers at 317-262-TIPS.
