Amanda Grayson, the Human mother of Spock and wife of Vulcan Ambassador Sarek, born in 2210, was originally a school teacher. Sarek and Amanda met while he served as the Vulcan ambassador to Earth. After the two were married in 2230 she moved to Vulcan with Sarek. In 2268, during the Bable Conference Spock asked his father why he married such an emotional woman. Sarek replied that at the time it seemed the logical thing to do.Amanda says that her married name is usually unpronounceable by humans, although with practice she was able to do it, after a fashion. In the Vulcan society, she is referred to as the Lady Amanda. In 2232 she gave birth to Spock. She was fond of reading. She loved the works of Lewis Carroll and often read these to Spock.During the Babel Conference Amanda accompanied her husband aboard the USS Enterprise, and helped Sarek and Spock to reconcile some of their differences.In 2286, after Spock's death and rebirth on the Genesis Planet and fal-tor-pan rejoining Amanda helped him to re-educate himself and she tried to help him rediscover his Human side.Years after Amanda's death Sarek, during an episode caused by Bendii Syndrome, said he regretted not having been tender to her and not having told her how much he loved her.----SPOILER: In Star Trek (2009) an alternate time line is formed. The events in the film are from the year 2258 and Amanda Grayson dies then, not later as depicted by earlier canon.----In regard to the deaths of the character of Amanda Grayson ...In an alternate reality accidentally created in 2269 per Yesteryear (TAS) http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Yesteryear_(episode), the original Grayson character dies in a shuttle accident shortly after 2237. However, the adult Spock returns to 2237 from 2269 and prevents his own accidental death as a child (in 2237) thereby re-establishing the original time-line (and his mother's life).The original character then lives to 2311 where she perishes in a second shuttle accident according to the apocrypha http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Amanda_Grayson which references the book, Crucible: Spock The Fire and the Rose.And finally, as pointed out above, in a new time line created for the 2009 Star Trek movie, the Amanda Grayson in that time line dies in 2258; but not in a shuttle accident!
